Jonathan Lee, Chief Product Officer at ai.io, presents the “AI-powered Scouting: Democratizing Talent Discovery in Sports,” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, Lee shares his experience using AI and computer vision to revolutionize talent identification in sports. By developing aiScout, a platform that enables athletes to upload drill videos for AI evaluation, ai.io aims to democratize access to scouting. Leveraging 3DAT, their AI-driven biomechanics analysis tool, they extract precise movement data without sensors or wearables.
Lee discusses how AI-driven scouting levels the playing field, allowing athletes to get discovered based on ability, not access—proven with elite athletes from the Tokyo Olympics to the NFL Scouting Combine. He also covers the business model, scalability and future of AI-driven scouting, highlighting its potential to redefine talent discovery and development.
