Summary
Major League Baseball has banned the use of league-provided iPads with generative artificial intelligence in dugouts to help form in-game strategy. The ban was issued after teams were found to be using custom apps that altered the iPads’ intended purpose, with up to one-third of the league affected. The ban took effect on Wednesday, and teams are no longer allowed to use AI to make recommendations for pitch selection, substitutions, and other in-game strategies.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
MLB teams thought they could outsmart the game with AI-powered iPads in the dugout. But now, the league is putting the brakes on this “smart coach” trend. The ban is a reminder that even in sports, there’s such a thing as too much tech. And honestly, who needs AI when you have a good old-fashioned coach yelling at the umpire?
