AI in Sports: Good or Bad

WE MADE IT! We finally reached Episode 10 of The Mostly AI SmartPod! Yippee! Guffaws and high fives all around. Okay, it’s a small milestone, but we’ll celebrate anyhow.

Of course, NotBot Susan Rush was out when we recorded this one, so we’ll hold off on the festivities until she’s back, when we can do a proper celebration.

This episode is kind of related to celebrations, and we’re talking here about the sports kind. With the National Football League’s 2026 season getting underway, and Major League Baseball in the thick of positioning for year-end playoffs, it’s like one big party starting up and another about to crown a champion. AI will have something to do with it, and that’s what the NotBots talk about here — the intersection of sports and AI: What’s good, what’s bad, and whether AI really makes a difference how you watch sports.

We also check in on our favorite AI stories from the last week and Victoria Martinez does the usual trip around the AI universe in a quick two minutes, tops.

Listen on Apple, Spotify and Amazon Music. Or watch on YouTube.
