Major League Baseball has implemented new restrictions concerning the league-issued iPads, which have been provided to teams since 2016. The new directive prohibits teams from installing custom applications that leverage generative artificial intelligence to suggest "substitutions, pitch calling, and other in-game decisions traditionally made by players and coaches."
This crackdown follows revelations that "up to a third of the league used the dugout iPads for at least one of these purposes," indicating a significant reliance on AI-driven insights for strategic gameplay prior to the new mandate.
