Who will be the America’s Cup champion? AI boosts football fever

Football fever is sweeping across the continent. The America’s Cup is here, and the crowd’s enthusiasm has captured the attention of the most die-hard fans of the beautiful game as well as casual and curious fans. Who will win the world’s oldest national team competition? That’s the question on everyone’s mind, and artificial BroadCast Unitedligence (AI) seems to have found the answer.

Every game generates historical data, statistics, predictions and other information. Every pass, every game, every goal, these elements can be analyzed and compared by AI to make predictions. Only with the passage of time can such results be confirmed or refuted.

In previous games, fortune tellers, astrologers and trained animals performed the function of soothsayers, generating fans’ expectations of predictions and promoting cock, banker and other types of sports; however, these were mainly based on chance, but AI leaves luck behind and focuses on pure and simple information to test its results.

The world is awash with data from a variety of sources, and the sports world is no stranger to this generation of information, which AI can efficiently process in large quantities, identifying correlations and trends that traditional methods may overlook. This provides a more complete and detailed view of the dynamics occurring in each game or tournament.

Big data is the management and analysis of large amounts of data that cannot be processed in traditional ways because they exceed the capabilities of software tools typically used for data capture, management, and processing, and marks a milestone by giving practical use to large amounts of data.

Big data combines the massive and diverse volume of data and its efficient processing, creating the basis for very accurate predictions.

“Big data is one of the fundamental bases of everything we do and is closely related to information. It collects and processes data using different programming languages, computer science or statistics,” explains Adriana Veizaga, professor in the Business Engineering Program at Unifranz Franz Tamayo University.

Through big data, artificial BroadCast Unitedligence follows a series of steps to predict sports results and analyze data such as information, trends and statistics. The process is as follows:

1. Data Collection

2. Data cleaning and preprocessing

3. Feature Selection

5. Model Training

6. Verification and Evaluation

7. Prediction of future results

8. Keep updating

America’s Cup Predictions

According to reports from the professional portal, two of the most popular AIs, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, predict that the 2024 America’s Cup will be won by Brazil, Argentina or Colombia.

OpenAI’s AI took into account the team’s results in the latest tournament and their performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

For ChatGPT, the 2024 Copa America group stage will see Argentina, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, the United States, Colombia, and Brazil advance to the quarterfinals.

In addition, AI also predicted the winners of the semi-finals and even the competition.

Messi’s Argentina will eliminate Mexico in the quarter-finals, Ecuador will face Canada, Brazil will beat Uruguay and Colombia will eliminate the United States.

According to AI, the teams that advance to the semifinals will be Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil. There will also be a final between Argentina and Brazil, which is a remake of the 2021 final.

“Both teams have a rich history in the America’s Cup and international tournaments. When the weather is good, Brazil has the ability to do everything.” This is the argument of AI.

Gemini AI predicted who would perform the worst. “While Venezuela has the worst statistics and track record, Bolivia and Peru are also likely to underperform in the Copa America. Just like Jamaica and Panama in CONCACAF.”

But Gemini showed that he also knows how to wash his hands and keep any options open. “While historical data can give us clues, accurately predicting which team will be the worst team in the 2024 Copa America is complex and imprecise.”

He added: “Football is a dynamic sport with variables constantly changing. The ideal is to analyse the games and enjoy them,” the AI ​​very wisely suggested.
