Abstract

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) is clear and highly influential in many areas of sports, helping to improve team and player results. Not only that, but artificial intelligence has been introduced into the areas of training and analysis of data and results, emulating and presenting potential hypothetical scenarios through the capabilities employed in artificial intelligence to enable accurate and effective training in emergency and critical situations. Another major benefit of using AI in sports is to analyze data and game stats to improve team performance in future games. Improved good decision making capability has made using artificial intelligence applications to gain huge popularity and attention in both academia and industry especially in sports industry. The main problem associated with using Artificial Intelligence applications is sports is that the usefulness of AI for many sports viewers, experts, coaches, team managers, and policy makers is not clear especially when they are not particularly familiar or expert in the field of AI. Similarly, for many, the reasons for employing AI and machine learning (ML) models for mathematical analysis in areas such as sports remain lackluster or unclear. In this research paper the authors present a review in the importance of using AI applications in sports for the people involved in the sports industry in general and especially for the Iraqi academic staff and those working in the sports field. The stake holders and the parties involved need to learn how to use the principles of AI knowledge, and conduct research to improve the performance of Iraqi teams and player.
