Arteta Confirms Arsenal Using AI Tools Under Human Oversight

Arteta stresses human judgment will remain paramount in decisions informed by new analysis.

Overview

  • Mikel Arteta confirmed Arsenal employs artificial intelligence to evaluate performances and identify areas for improvement across the organisation.
  • He described AI as a "super powerful" tool when used with the right questions, offering insights that prompt ideas rather than dictating choices.
  • Arteta said the club has developed internal systems and may explore applying them in additional areas, without disclosing specific methods or metrics.
  • He cautioned that data must be understood and interpreted carefully and that technology cannot replace the sensitivity required in managing players or injury decisions.
  • Former manager Arsene Wenger warned that tools should assist rather than rule decisions, as other coaches such as Laura Harvey have tested ChatGPT for tactical ideas that informed formations.
