🏈The National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl this weekend sparked considerable discussion, highlighting not only top-tier athletic talent but also serving as a compelling example of the significant advancements AI has made in advertising and sports technology over the past year. 

📺 With commercial slots hitting up to $7M for 30 seconds, brands seized this golden opportunity to highlight their AI advancements:

- Microsoft and Etsy spotlighted their AI tools, emphasizing innovation.
- Google unveiled its 'AI-guided frame' feature, empowering the partially sighted with audio-guided photography on smartphones.
- Your Bodyarmour creatively critiqued AI-generated videos with humorous, distorted animations, underscoring their commitment to 'no artificial flavours'.
- Even Universal Pictures Despicable Me 4 got in on the action, featuring minions experimenting with AI image creators in its teaser trailer 

Beyond commercials, the NFL itself embraced AI through its digital athlete platform powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS),  which uses machine learning and data analytics to simulate scenarios, aiming to enhance player safety and team strategy with data-driven insights.

👀  We are looking forward to seeing more AI advancements in 2024
