Zamora represented the club at Tuesday's opening of the 2024 edition of the prestigious IBM TechXchange Summit, one of the most internationally respected technological conventions, held in Barcelona. The summit offered the ideal opportunity to present Scout Advisor, the innovative generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool that the club will use to streamline the identification and characterisation of talented players in its scouting process, to an audience of more than 1,500 people.
Built on 'watsonx,' IBM's AI and data platform for businesses, Scout Advisor was developed in order to complement the club's AiFootball and AiScouting tools. Zamora was in charge of presenting Scout Advisor on the convention's main stage, together with the vice president of IBM, Dinesh Nirmal, who travelled to Spain and wore a Sevilla FC shirt for the presentation at the three-day summit.
Scout Advisor makes it possible to automatically identify and characterise players based on written information from hundreds of thousands of scouting reports. "We have probably the most extensive player database in football and, now with Scout Advisor, the process of searching and finding talent among so many reports will be much more accurate and efficient. Generative artificial intelligence allows us to process the subjective attributes described with the nuance of natural human language and not just the objective data," explained Zamora.
This partnership with IBM underlines the club's commitment to technological development, which has made it a reference-point for innovation in the world of football. Consequently, IBM did not hesitate to commit to a collaboration with a club considered a trailblazer that creates value and uses technological innovation to transform its corporate business. Indeed, this was underlined by both Dinesh Nirmal and Fernando Suarez, director of Software in Spain for IBM, at Tuesday's event in Barcelona and last week's press conference in Seville respectively
