Fans will get access to a huge amount of content, including over 300, 000 articles, 9, 000 videos, and stats from the league's start in 1992. In the future, the AI will also help translate text and audio into different languages. It will also make the Fantasy Premier League experience even better. The details of the deal haven't been shared with the public. The Premier League is known as the top soccer organization in the world. It's watched in 189 countries and reaches 900 million homes. The league's CEO, Richard Masters, said this partnership will help engage fans in new ways. This includes personalized content and real-time match insights.
