Naturgy and PredictLand, together with the Princess of Girona Foundation organized a pioneering hackathon in artificial intelligence in Ávila on September 27th.
Twenty young people from different communities came together to innovate in the field of sports. The event stood out for the disruptive technologies used: ‘Match your Point’ applied AI to the mental wellbeing of young tennis players, merging technology and empathy. Other proposals included a soccer pattern analysis startup and a machine learning application to improve basketball refereeing. This hackathon not only demonstrated the creativity of young people, but also how AI transforms sport, marking a significant milestone towards a technological future for Spanish youth.
“It has been a fantastic experience in which you realize that young people are much more prepared than we a priori think they are. We have tried to teach them to use their own criteria, when they consume content in which AI appears, so that they can understand how it works and from there make their own decisions and develop innovative business ideas.”
