The story is that AI could extend live audio commentary to those matches that are not being covered by human sportscasters. But this is a pretty disingenuous comment: "We're not here to replace all of the iconic commentators. Of course not. But there are only so many of them. So it's really just a matter of making the action here at the US Open accessible." But in reality there's no limit on the number of humans available to provide live commentary; if they wanted more they could simply hire more. The fact is that AI commentators are cheaper, and that's what makes them attractive to broadcasters.
