These collaborations reflect IBM’s emphasis on enterprise AI adoption, potentially driving long-term revenue streams. Meanwhile, public perception of AI in sports remains mixed, with surveys indicating that two-thirds of fans view AI’s impact as neutral or negative, despite IBM’s research showing 63% trust in AI-generated sports content.
