AI swept up in quest for curling's one-in-a-million shot english.kyodonews.net

The women's bronze final during the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics saw Japan lead Britain 4-3, entering the 10th and final end.
Britain, throwing second, appeared to have had a relatively easy, if risky, chance to take two Japanese stones out and claim the victory with the end's final shot.
"AI calculated that Britain was in a difficult position to try to score two points by taking out those stones," Yamamoto said.
There are systems also developed for AI that rate soccer and ice hockey players based on their movements and contributions, and Yamamoto believes its impact will only grow.
Those that lag in taking it up may find themselves on the outside when it comes to the Olympics," he said.
