However, the question of the fairness of football draws is something that always left at least
some doubt in most of the fans’ minds. Classics conspirac
y theories like “hot and cold balls”
(supposedly stating that teams are already selected prior to the actual draw in some dirty
fashion) or even talk about big clubs getting an easier way through to the final have been
lingering for a while.
Although not
hing confirmed these allegations, the fact that such theories already exist testifies
to the lack of confidence in the way the system currently works.
AI can put an end to all that. With complex algorithms, AI can ensure the randomness of football
draws
–
the process will be totally transparent, most importantly, free from errors that might
result from human interference.
According to Mohammad S A A Alothman, “AI brings
transparency to the table. It doesn’t get influenced by biases, pressure, or preference
s.
Once it’s set up, the system operates purely based on logic and fairness.”.
Think of this: knowing an advanced system is running the draw will reassure fans. No more
accusations of fixing or favoritism. Every club, big or small, will get the same fair
shot in the
draw.
