Google DeepMind, Alphabet's artificial intelligence subsidiary, has been working with the UK’s Liverpool FC football club for several years on the development of an artificial intelligence system capable of analysing and advising coaches on game tactics. It has now developed a specialist AI system for optimising corner kicks.

DeepMind recently presented TacticAI, an artificial intelligence system capable of providing practical information when taking a corner kick in a soccer match. It combines predictive and generative models to analyse what has happened in previous matches and make adjustments for even more effective shots. It allows coaches to create alternative player configurations for each routine of interest, then directly evaluate the possible outcomes of these choices.
