How do AI powered referee systems work

AI-powered refereeing systems work by utilizing various technologies such as computer vision, machine learning, and real-time data analysis to assist referees in making accurate and fair decisions. These systems analyze video footage of sports events to identify crucial incidents and provide instant feedback to the on-field officials, reducing error margins and aiding decision-making in real-time [1][5]. However, it's important to note that AI technology is not yet advanced enough to make all judgment calls that human referees can, such as determining intent or assessing the severity of a foul, and it cannot account for the nuances and context of a game like a human referee can [5].
