Find Your Moneyball: Using AI To Uncover Hidden Opportunities And Advantages

In the movie “Moneyball,” Oakland A’s General Manager Billy Bean uses an innovative strategy called “sabermetrics” to catapult his underachieving baseball team to success. Bean is introduced to sabermetrics by Peter Brand (played in the film by Jonah Hill), an assistant who has mastered a series of calculations that allow him to identify players other teams are undervaluing. Brand’s system enables the low-budget A’s to assemble an optimized lineup that goes on a record-breaking winning streak.

In the future, every company will have a chance at a Moneyball story. But instead of coming from a brilliant analyst like Peter Brand, these opportunities will be created by artificial intelligence.
