AI beats goalkeepers at predicting which way penalty taker will shoot
A new artificial intelligence model has demonstrated the ability to predict the direction of penalty kicks with 64% accuracy. Researchers trained the deep learning model by analyzing video footage of numerous penalty shots. The AI focused on subtle cues in the penalty taker's movements to anticipate whether the shot would be aimed to the goalkeeper's left or right. This development could have implications for goalkeeper training and the development of automated systems to assist in penalty saves. While not perfect, the 64% accuracy rate suggests a significant advancement in AI's ability to analyze and predict complex human actions in sports.
