Wimbledon's AI judges out of line with some
The Straits Times
|July 03, 2025
The All England Club's decision to replace line judges with artificial intelligence technology at Wimbledon has received mixed reviews from players and fans alike.
-
LONDON -
This week marked the first time the tournament has been played without meticulously dressed judges determining whether the ball is in or out.
The 300 line judges have been cut to 80, who are instead assisting chair umpires and interceding should the latest Hawk-Eye electronic line calling (ELC) system fail.
The system uses AI to analyse footage from up to 18 cameras to track the progress of the ball and decide if it is in or out.
Sally Bolton, the chief executive officer of the All England Club, said the new system was brought in to ensure the calls were accurate and not to cut costs.
