Mets Allegedly Illegally Used AI to Assist Decisions — And Somehow Still Stunk

Summary

The New York Mets reportedly used artificial intelligence (AI) through in-dugout iPads to help with game decisions, which goes against Major League Baseball (MLB) rules. Despite this AI help, the team still performed very poorly during the season.

Key Facts

  • It is unclear when or how long the Mets used this AI system.
  • The use of AI in this way was discovered and reported by the New York Post.
  • Both the former manager Carlos Mendoza and interim manager Andy Green were involved in the season but it’s not known who used the AI.
  • The AI strategy did not improve the Mets’ performance, and the team finished near the bottom of the standings.
  • MLB has closed the loophole that allowed access to unauthorized AI programs on iPads.
  • The report suggests the Mets may have misused the AI advice or the team’s players were not good enough for the AI to help.
