Can Alibaba and Intel take their respective technologies, bring them together, and offer a whole new level of statistical analysis and understanding to sports fans and athletes? That\u2019s the hope of the two companies, which has announced a new initiative that provides a key pillar to Alibaba\u2019s Sports Brain project for the Olympics and could transform other events as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been working with Intel since before our Olympic partnerships, as we use the Intel chip in our data centers,\u201d says Joey Tan<\/strong>, head of global strategic initiatives, Alibabs Cloud. \u201cTechnology collaboration is in our DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n Alibaba has four key areas of focus for what it calls its Sports Brain project for the Olympics. First, using the cloud, AI, and digital technologies to make it cheaper and safer to host an Olympics and keep the event running smoothly and efficiently. Second, offering innovations with new digital experiences for fans and attendees. Third, helping rightsholders go about their business in a new way with new efficiencies and cloud-based workflows. And, fourth, using new technologies that can make a difference for the high-performance Olympic athlete\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n
