Li Tie was exposed to concocting match-fixing in many football matches and manipulating the results of the game in order to win improper benefits. Can AI detect match-fixing in football?What are the possible ways to apply it?
1.Data analysis:
AI can identify anomalous patterns by analyzing large amounts of historical match data, real-time betting data, and player performance data. For example, if the outcome of a match is significantly inconsistent with the pre-match**, team strength comparison, or historical record, and is accompanied by unusual betting behavior (such as a sudden spike in betting on an underdog outcome), the AI system may issue an alert.
2.Behavioral Analysis:
Using analytics technology, AI can monitor players' behavior and movements on the field, looking for abnormal play strategies, obvious signs of water release, or unusual body language. Through deep learning analysis of each player's action sequence, behaviors that do not conform to the rhythm and intensity of the regular game are found.
3.Betting Monitoring:
Some companies use AI to track and intelligently analyze betting activity in the global gaming market in real time, and can catch suspicious clues in time when there is a large abnormal bet or a specific betting pattern (often related to match-fixing).
4.Cyber Intelligence & Social Monitoring:
AI can also monitor social networks**, forums, and other publicly available sources of information for discussions about match-fixing, leaked information, or records of communications between people involved in match-fixing.
5.Correlation Analysis:
Through link analysis technology, AI can dig into the hidden network of relationships between players, coaches, referees and other relevant personnel, and analyze whether there is a potential benefit transmission chain.
6.Machine Learning Models**:
Build a machine learning-based model of the outcome of the match, and if the actual result of the match differs too much from the model** result, there may be the possibility of manipulating the match.
This complex social problem cannot be completely solved by technical means alone, and the cooperation and efforts of the legal system, industry supervision, and moral education are still needed. AI does not directly provide conclusive evidence to prove that a game is match-fixing, but assists investigation agencies in investigating suspected match-fixing by identifying statistical anomalies, behavioral anomalies, and market dynamics. Further confirmation requires a combination of traditional forensic methods and the judgment of human experts.
