Arteta, don't rely too much on AI when it's important, 老 teacher Wenger's warning
Former Arsenal manager Arsen Wenger warned Mikel Arteta of his dependence on AI.

Wenger said he thought AI could give Arteta's Arsenal a chance to gain the upper hand in the Premier League championship race, but advised not to rely on this tool in making important decisions.

Arsenal, the league's leader, drew against Sunderland at the end of the game by allowing an equalizer, but started the A-match break by leading second-place Manchester City by four points. The 14-game unbeaten streak based on an impregnable defense is the reason and foundation for Arsenal's performance this season. Before giving Sunderland an equalizer, Arsenal had eight consecutive scoreless games.




Ahead of the away trip to Sunderland, Arteta sparked controversy when he revealed that he was using AI as part of his infamous and meticulous preparation for the game.

Arteta commented "AI is a very powerful tool if you use it the right way and ask the right questions." "This tool is already being used in a variety of areas and processes that can benefit not just the team but the organization as a whole." "AI will continue to improve, providing us with useful insights or at least something to ponder. I'm not an AI expert, but after acknowledging that it is a valuable tool", I developed certain elements through AI that could help us better understand ourselves and evaluate the work we are doing and the improvements we are making. "Afterwards, we will also explore ways to take advantage of this in many other areas of the club."

After it was revealed that Seattle Lane coach Laura Harvey of the U.S. Women's Professional Football League (NWSL) used ChatGPT for tactical suggestions, the use of AI is a hot topic among leaders and players around the world.




When asked if the use of AI could help directors, Wenger replied. "It can help you make better decisions. AI has an amazing ability. It can absorb millions of situations and provide answers in a second or less time", acknowledging the utility and efficiency of AI. Then, when the AI presents an opinion, the director can judge that the opinion is wrong. As long as humans maintain control, authority, and power over decisions, any scientific tool can be used well," he added. "But a really dangerous situation arises when science governs human decisions", expressing caution about the world where excessive dependence on AI and technology dominate the human mind.
