The Premier League is set to introduce a new AI-powered system to enhance the accuracy and speed of offside decisions. This season, the league will replace its controversial VAR system with a semi-automated technology developed by Genius Sports. The system will utilize over 28 iPhone 14 or newer cameras in stadiums to track up to 10,000 parts of a player's body at 200 frames per second. This innovation aims to streamline the decision-making process, reducing delays and improving the overall experience for fans. The move is seen as a significant step towards maintaining the flow of the game, as stated by Tony Scholes of the Premier League.
