Bloomberg Media to debut sports and AI shows

Bloomberg Media plans to launch two new shows in April — one that examines sports and another that looks at artificial intelligence.

“Next In Sports” will be documentary series that explores the intersection of business, sports and culture.

Hosted by Bloomberg journalists Jason Kelly and Vanessa Perdomo, it will explore new sports – and new innovations in existing leagues – by meeting the creators and athletes. The series will illustrate how ambition and entrepreneurship in the sports world are reshaping not just how we think about winning and losing, but economics and equality.

“AI IRL” will be hosted by Bloomberg reporter Jackie Davalos and technology editor Nate Lanxon and delve into the ways AI is infiltrating real life.

This series will examines the areas where AI is transforming what we can accomplish. The show will interview those at the forefront of this technology and the most persuasive critics.
