World Boxing Considers AI for Fairer Scoring
World Boxing, the group in charge of international boxing, is thinking about using smart computers to watch boxing matches and decide who wins.
This is because sometimes the judges might make mistakes, and people don't trust the scoring system.
They also want to make sure the best fighters don't have to fight each other too early in big tournaments.
The person in charge of World Boxing thinks India could become really good at boxing.
World Boxing is exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) to review boxing matches and improve scoring.
The organization aims to address the sport's controversial scoring system and restore trust.
A new ranking system has been introduced to ensure top boxers meet in later stages of competitions.
The qualification process for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is still being finalized.
India has the potential to become a boxing superpower, according to outgoing president Boris van der Vorst.
