AI Takes Center Court at the US Open; Prince Harry and Meghan Head Back to Britain

Fan Week at the US Open kicks off today. IBM and the US Open are expanding their use of AI to give fans real-time match insights, including personalized updates, an AI assistant and win probabilities that change after every point. The technology also gives players and coaches deeper data to analyze opponents and match strategy while helping more than 14 million digital users follow the tournament.

Also this weekend, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have decided to return to the UK for an extended stay starting this fall, but they won’t resume their roles as working members of the royal family, the Associated Press reported. The couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have already enrolled at British schools and will start classes in September.
