Should AI score fights to eliminate corruption & ineptitude?

I'm in the camp of tending to believe that boxing judging is less about corruption and ineptitude but how it is just a difficult job or can be

One angle in real time with no stats or anyone telling you something landed. Obviously you have the crowd factor too.

I am open to the idea of AI scoring if it will be accurate and effective. Like a post above, if they have it as a guest scorecard and publish it in comparison to the real judges and the TV commentator judge and it seems competent then I would not be against it

 

There's ways to eliminate corruption in the sport. AI is not the solution.

 

Well I guess incompetence ranks alongside corruption as something you can analyse if you have the data to compare, right?

Ultimately the motivation of the judge in question doesn't matter - if their scoring is poor then that's bad if it's corruption and bad if it's incompetence... Anything that can help elevate the judges that generally produce good cards and relegate those that don't, IMHO, could be a good thing.

 

AI is nowhere close to doing this.

 

Hmm. I'll check the system. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

 

Its a simple solution. Allow open scoring.

 

It would be simple to utilize AI on 500 past fights and see how AI scores the fights compared to the judge's actual scores to determine it's accuracy.

 

replace corrupt humans with corrupt AI. What could go wrong?

 

Yes, AI will always on average be more accurate than human judges when scoring a fight. Ai is a thoughtless program, you can't bribe AI, only change it's algorithm, but corruption will always exist

 

I think it can work as one of the judges, but judging itself needs to be flipped over. Let's do it like this: 2 judges watching the fight ringside, 2 judges watching the broadcast without the sound and we're adding 1 AI judge to it. After that, we cut 2 most extreme scorecards and base the result on the 3 scorecards that are left.
