My Coach, the Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is conquering sports and the corona pandemic is accelerating this trend. Whether it's clever fitness apps, strategic statistical analyses, grouping of spectators or even the fight against Covid-19 - AI has become indispensable in sports. In 2013 three young men founded a fitness app start-up in Munich - with a YouTube video, a newsletter and three PDFs. Today Freeletics, as the leading company in the so-called fit-tech scene, has over 50 million users in 175 countries worldwide. This spectacular development shows how rapidly AI has found its way into sports.
