About AI & Predictive Intelligence
AI is no longer the differentiator at the edges of BetTech, it is the product. Predictive models drive the headlines that publishers run, the personalisation that keeps users engaged, the margin protection operators rely on, and the second-screen experiences rights holders monetise during live events.
This pillar gives Product, Operators, Rights Holders and Investors the technical grounding and decision frameworks to evaluate predictive intelligence as infrastructure: what to build, what to buy, how to measure value, and how to govern it responsibly.
