Abstract

Big data, artificial intelligence, data analytics, machine learning, neural networks are promising prospects in the industry right now and subsequently the posterity for the current technological landscape. Initially, we looked into the overwhelming amount of sectors it is involved in. In the auditing process, we were able to conclude; the sports industry seems to be one of the most promising applications of these modern technologies. Hence, this paper offers a deeper look into how the entire sports industry has been affected in a multi-faceted way. Not only, are the on field antics that have been impacted but also the business implications and immersion of fans. The following is a comprehensive review expanding on the aforementioned aspects.
