AI use grows in scouting football prospects but data can miss talent

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to scout football prospects, but it may repeat existing bias and inequality rather than identify future star players accurately, a researcher said. AI typically searches past data for patterns of successful players, which can mirror long-standing preferences in scouting. Differences in physical and social development can make long-term potential hard to predict from early data. Monitoring can also increase psychological pressure on young players and staff.

Korean asset managers adjust ETF inclusion schedules ahead of SpaceX listing

South Korea\'s space-themed exchange-traded funds have repeatedly adjusted their plans to include SpaceX ahead of its expected Nasdaq listing. Strong expectations around the listing have drawn large inflows into related ETFs, but managers have changed inclusion and disclosure schedules close to the debut. Some funds plan to add exposure two trading days after listing rather than on the day itself. Investors are being urged to check actual inclusion timing, weights and volatility risks.
