EUGENE \u2014 Using technology during football games continues to expand at all levels of the sport, but Dan Lanning<\/a> won\u2019t be relying on artificial intelligence anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Last week, the NFL and Microsoft announced they were expanding their partnership to upgrade the league\u2019s sideline viewing systems with more than 2,500 custom-built Microsoft Surface Copilot tablets. The new devices, which are already in use, include AI capabilities that will allow coaches and players to analyze data quicker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not AI making decisions. It\u2019s not AI informing decisions. What it really is, is AI allowing people to get at information faster with less manual intervention,\u201d NFL deputy chief information officer Aaron Amendolia told CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FBS colleges began allowing the use of tablets in games last season, with the Big 12 partnering with Microsoft and the Big Ten, ACC and SEC partnering with Apple. The use of those devices is limited to in-game video review for coaches and players, for now.<\/p>\n

Lanning wasn\u2019t aware of the NFL\u2019s expanded use of AI and while intrigued, is not going to be pushing for its use in college football just yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not using ChatGPT on my sideline to decide what we\u2019re going to run,\u201d Lanning said. \u201cI\u2019ll be interested in what kind of information that provides, but I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s made it to (college football). I think AI is something that is going to grow; it\u2019ll continue to be a part of the game, probably as much as anything from a scouting standpoint. But it\u2019s still the early days for us at our level there.\u201d<\/p>\n
