Sports fans are being introduced to multiple uses of artificial intelligence as they tune in to watch their favorite players and teams.
Video-assisted technology helps referees make calls. Thousands of cameras were tracking the action across multiple stadiums during last year's World Cup.

But one thing that has mostly remained the same is how sports fans consume live sporting events.
