no because the ufc relies on the excuse of human error to racketeer their operation I suspect.
Ideallly yes, but then no one is accountable, and there is always the suspicion of rigging, orI am sitting here watching the PFL and they mentioned how the AI scored the last bout. That got me thinking. Is Artificial intelligence the answer to poor MMA judging and why hasn’t the UFC not looked into an AI system to score their fights? What are some of your thoughts?
It’s not a bad idea to add more technology into the equation. Soon they will likely have motorized cameras all around the cage and will be able to give us matrix style replays in real-time. Could you imagine seeing this KO like that?

AI is definitely not the answer, but machine learning might be. And the goddamned press that can't bother learning the difference between the two should shove an MMA referee up its collective ass.

biaises.
And AI can be pretty damn stupid in some scenarios.
That’s what I am saying and could not agree with you more. With the amount of money the UFC generates, this would not be a very inexpensive addition. It could be even controlled by a few people almost like in a casino when they are zooming cameras in and out looking for cheaters. This would be very easy to do.It would not cost a crazy amount to have cameras lining the outside of the cage. A camera every foot or 6 inches around the cage would not cost much. Then splice all the frames together in post and even interpolate if you want. UFC should be doing something like this just for advertising.
Exactly why I didn't win sherdog poster of the year award.machines can be rigged as well...entire elections are stolen and rigged this way.
Lol PFL promotes the “Smartcage” more than their own fighters.But then everyone would have to have a SMARTCAGE
Precisely, and that's the issue.It just depends on how it is programmed and trained..
This is a very interesting viewpoint. ‘Fighters training to beat the AI rather than fight.’ I think that’s very possible as well. And since the AI would be learning from pretty much every mma fight since it’s inception. It may also have a very flawed foundation of knowledge, since those outcomes weren’t 100% accurate as they were judged by humans.Precisely, and that's the issue.
Who would program it? How? Who would sanction the validity of the software?
Judges are not under the UFC control, so a judging software shouldn't be either.
Regardless of regulation issues I think it would work very well in most cases and go terribly wrong in some bizarre fights. Because the training works only with the material available.
Also, if an AI judge were to develop some bizarre, specific trends, it could be exploited by the fighters and be detrimental to fights. Fighters would just be there to beat the AI rather than fight For example, if it scores heavily on strike numbers and is not very sensitive to strikes landing clean, some fighters could just throw hundreds of half ass jabs and get a shitty win.

Let robots be the refs too with guns.
