Major League Baseball (MLB) recently announced a major security upgrade to their stadiums. The new facial authentication and AI security system will allow fans to enter the stadium hands-free.
The new system will use facial recognition technology to identify fans as they approach the stadium entrance. Fans will be required to register their face with the system prior to entering the stadium. Once registered, fans will be able to enter the stadium without having to show a ticket or ID. The system will also be able to detect any suspicious activity and alert security personnel.
The new system is part of MLB’s ongoing effort to ensure the safety and security of its fans. The system will also help to reduce long lines at the stadium entrance and make it easier for fans to enter the stadium quickly.
MLB is not the first professional sports league to implement facial recognition technology. The National Basketball Association (NBA) has been using facial recognition technology since 2017. The NBA’s system is used to identify VIPs and season ticket holders as they enter the arena.
MLB’s new system is expected to be in place by the start of the 2021 season. The league is also exploring other ways of using AI and facial recognition technology to improve fan experience. This could include using AI to help identify fans who are in need of assistance or providing personalized recommendations for concessions and merchandise.
The introduction of facial authentication and AI security for hands-free fan entry is an exciting development for MLB fans. The new system will make it easier and more secure for fans to enter stadiums, while also helping to improve fan experience.
