Once a matter of parody, artificial intelligence judging will make its snowsports debut in a few short days at the 2025 Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado, Snowboarder reports. X Games has partnered with Google Cloud to bring AI judging to SuperPipe competitions at this year's event.

The X Games will experiment judging halfpipe runs this week in Aspen using artificial intelligence, the cutting-edge technology that could someday play a role in the way subjectively judged sports are scored.

The vision for X Games' future under new CEO Jeremy Bloom includes sports betting, AI judging, fantasy sports and the debut of its ambitious team-based X Games League.
