X Games Pivots to AI Judging, Forging a New Frontier in Sports
The X Games is spinning off its AI judging platform, The Owl AI, into a new standalone tech company. Debuting at Aspen 2025 and set to be deployed at X Games Salt Lake City, this venture aims to integrate AI into subjective sports like gymnastics, complementing human judges. Led by X Games CEO Jeremy Bloom and former Google AI head Josh Gwyther, the Boulder-based company secured an $11 million seed round to revolutionize sports judging and fan experience.
