I mean, it\u2019s a technique and technology that is evolving at a credible rate, and I like to tell my team, \u2018If we\u2019re not pushing the envelope and looking for different ways to do things and storytelling, then we\u2019re not doing our jobs. So the last thing I want my team to be is stagnant and play on our heels and play it safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">UFC CEO Dana White was asked about the UFC diving into AI following UFC Seattle, and the fan backlash of the decision, and White sent a message to the masses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cAI is coming, and if we\u2019re using AI, who gives a shit? &#8230; How about this: Shut the f*ck up and watch the fights,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Borsari was asked to comment on AI being a hot-button topic, and people being staunchly against it. But like White, Borsari said they will continue to dive in as AI continues to add more tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWe will continue to look for ways to not only use AI, but other technological advances and push the envelope in the way we present our product \u2014 both on the original production side, as well as the live event side,\u201d Borsari said. \u201cLike I said, we\u2019re still relatively in the early stages of AI, and the way we will work with AI isn\u2019t just to put in some prompts and take whatever product is spit out and move on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cOur editors, our producers, we\u2019re going through color-correction, they\u2019re using it as a tool to create content. And there are a lot of tools that we use on the technology side to help amplify and advance the way we create pieces. I encourage the team to look for ways to continue to utilize it, but it\u2019s not just AI. We\u2019re looking at advances on the audio side in new technology that has become available and, again, we like to be at the forefront of this stuff. \u2026 We will continue to use AI and other technology to try to create content in a way that we weren\u2019t able to in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UFC has received pushback on the use of artificial intelligence when it comes to their production, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":617664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,701,61,640,702],"class_list":["post-617663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-latest-news","tag-technology","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/617664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
