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.
