NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league plans to introduce an AI-based automated officiating system for certain decisions, including out-of-bounds calls. Silver describes the approach as using cameras placed around the court and an AI system to determine possession, with the goal of making specific calls more objective and speeding up play. He compares the proposal to Hawk-Eye, the technology used in tennis to support electronic line-calling. The NBA’s intent, according to Silver, is to reduce disputes that can arise when teams disagree with possession rulings. The comments follow ongoing discussion about how officiating decisions are handled and whether technology can assist referees in real time. While the outlets report on the league’s planned direction, they do not provide a specific timeline for when the system would be deployed or which additional categories of calls—beyond out-of-bounds—may be included.
