Some tennis players are not satisfied with the new AI judges of Wimbledon, as reported by the telegraph.
This is the first year the prestigious tennis tournament, which is still ongoing, replaced human line judges who determine whether a ball is in or out, with an electronic line call (ELC).
Numerous players have criticized the AI technology, largely for making the wrong calls, leading to them to lose points. Notably, British Tennis Star Emma Raducanu evoked the technology due to a lack of ball her opponent hit, but instead had to be played as if entering. In a TV replay, the ball actually watched, The telegraph reported.
Jack Draper, the British number 1, also said he feels that some lines are wrong, saying he does not think the AI technology is “100 percent accurate.”
Player Ben Shelton had to speed up his match after he was told that the new AI line system was about to stop working because of the dark sunlight. Elsewhere, Players said they can’t Listen to the new automatic speech system, with one deaf player saying that without the human hand signaling from the line judges, she could not tell when she earned a point or not.
The technology also encountered a blow at a key point during a match this weekend between British player Sonay Kartal and the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, where a ball came out, but the technology failed to call. The referee had to enter to stop the demonstration and told the players to reproduce the point because the ELC failed to track the point. Wimbledon later apologized, saying it was a “human error”, and that the technology was accidentally turned off during the match. It too Adjusted the technology So that, ideally, the error could not be repeated.
Debbie Jevans, president of the All England Club, the organization that hosts Wimbledon, countered at Raducanu and Draper, saying: “When we had lineners, we were constantly asked why we didn’t have an electronic phone because it is more correct than the rest of the tour.”

This is not the first time that the AI technology has burned, as tennis tournaments are still either partially or fully adopted by automatic systems. Alexander Zverev, a German player, evoked the same automatic line judging technology back in April, Posting a picture to Instagram Show where a ball called a lot.
The criticisms reveal the friction completely replacing people with AI, causing reason why Human-ai balance It may be necessary because more organizations adopt such technology. Recently recently, the company Klarna said it looks hire human workers after previously doing automatic jobs.
