00:00 The biggest problem I think that we have or we seem to fail to grasp is that no form of

00:08 technology is going to make the game errorless. We used to understand that errors were part

00:14 of the game, including officiating errors. You'd have to cop it. Some people cop it better

00:22 than others, but that was part of the game. The game is lidded with historical refereeing

00:28 decisions that weren't right, but we all accepted it. That's part of the game because we're

00:33 dealing with human beings. But I think people are under the misconception that the AI is

00:36 going to be errorless. Well, I don't think there's any technology because so much of

00:39 our game isn't factual. It's down to interpretation and they're still human beings. They're going

00:47 to make mistakes the same way managers make mistakes, the same way players make mistakes.

00:52 So I think when you put such a high bar on something, invariably it's going to fail.

00:59 So if people are thinking that the AI is going to be something at some point that is perfect,

01:04 that's never going to happen.
