IBM's Watson is creating US Open tennis highlight videos

When it's not busy healing America's broken criminal sentencing system, Watson is creating highlight videos of tennis matches. That's probably one of the things one could say if IBM's AI system were human. The tech titan has just launched a suite of Watson-powered AI solutions for its enterprise customers, and the US Open is already using one of them to generate highlights of its matches. IBM calls the suite "Watson Media," and the US Tennis Association is using one of its features called "Cognitive Highlights." This particular solution finds the most exciting parts of a match by analyzing the crowd's cheers, as well as the players' gestures and facial expressions. It then automatically generates videos of the most thrilling moments, which are then posted on Facebook and published on the US Open apps.
