This presentation will take a close look at Artificial Intelligence and how it relates to scouting. Human scouting and a few of the websites used daily for stats have weak spots and this will inform how to shore up those weaknesses It will teach people how to approach the topics of scouting and AI from an interdisciplinary mindset, how to be good custodians of AI, and how to use it. This presentation will also teach a few of the foundational concepts of how AI and Machine Learning work, then wrap up with a solution I am working on.
