35 m. ago Look at Wimbledon without human line judges and tell me this: do you really want life to be perfect? | Hugh Muir

They say say tech instead of people on court is progress, and perhaps it is. But society has hard calls to make: sometimes perfect is not worth havingIt’s the perfect Wimbledon. The sun is out, the Brits are firing and as for the scoring, that too will be somewhat perfect, this being the first Wimbledon since the tournament told the line judges, long the arbiters of accuracy, that after 148 years, their services will no longer be required.Arguments, unpredictability and, as the cameras zoom in to the line judge whose eyesight judgment prompts a participant explosion, buttock-clenching awkwardness in close-up: goodbye to all that. Hello, AI and sharp-eyed robots, analysing in real time 18 lots of footage.Hugh Muir is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
