BNN Bloomberg
The founder of Sportlogiq, a Canadian company bringing AI to athletics, said sentiment surrounding AI has shot up over the past several months – and his business is seizing the moment with a renewed focus on growth.
Sportlogiq leverages AI and data collection for insights into sports. The Montreal-based company provides analytics and other insights to professional sports teams has attracted investment from prominent businessman and ‘Shark Tank’ personality Mark Cuban.
Craig Buntin, the founder and chief executive officer of the Montreal-based company, said in an interview with BNN Bloomberg Friday that it’s been “interesting to watch the hype come back to AI” following the release of ChatGPT and other language generation models.
“We saw huge hype in AI very early on when machine learning started getting great processing and became accessible,” Buntin said.
