Japan's beloved Slamdunk basketball site is ramping up surveillance with the implementation of AI cameras. The new technology will not only monitor visitors for safety and security purposes, but also provide insights into player performance through sophisticated data analysis tools. The system has already launched and will be fully operational by the end of the month, bringing an innovative change to the revered sports field.

Basketball is immensely popular in Japan and Slamdunk's basketball courts are considered a sacred site among fans, resulting in a high influx of visitors. Safety and performance enhancement are two primary concerns in these public spaces. As a part of embracing the digital revolution, Japan is increasingly making use of AI technology, and its application for surveillance and improvement in sports infrastructure signifies the country's value for technology innovation linked with social safety and enthusiasm for sports.

However, it's note-worthy that Japan is rapidly catching up in utilizing AI for improving sports infrastructure in addition to industrial and social applications.
