AI's Impact on Merchandise and Sports

• AI presents significant opportunities for content creation and business, especially in collectibles and merchandise.
• Companies like Fanatics currently manage massive inventories (2 million+ products and $1.5B in inventory costs) but still face challenges meeting fan demand.
• The future involves AI-driven content creation and robotic automation to produce personalized merchandise on demand, like jerseys, enhancing fan experiences.
• AI will also help predict trends and optimize inventory management, telling companies what products to prepare for upcoming events.
• Interactive experiences during games will allow fans to purchase items through QR codes or clicks, further merging sports and commerce.
