Imagine if a baseball membership had an oracle that would say with certainty what number of hits a batter would compile, or what number of runs a pitcher would permit, within the coming 12 months, three years or decade. The very best-performing groups would then be these with the very best oracles. Such oracles don’t exist, after all. However artificial-intelligence (AI) models do. They usually don’t want a crystal ball: they can predict the future just by searching for mathematical patterns in reams of historic information.
