In Episode 2 of Season 8, host Jeremy M. Evans examines one of the most urgent and unsettled issues in modern sports and entertainment: how artificial intelligence is reshaping media rights in ways that existing contracts, leagues, and laws never anticipated. As AI-generated content, synthetic voices, automated highlights, and data-driven distribution accelerate, Jeremy explores the growing disconnect between traditional media rights frameworks and emerging technology.
This episode breaks down how AI challenges long-standing assumptions around ownership, licensing, publicity rights, and collective bargaining. Jeremy analyzes where current agreements fall short, why many stakeholders are exposed to unforeseen risk, and how leagues, teams, athletes, and broadcasters may find themselves in conflict over control and compensation.
From intellectual property and right of publicity concerns to league governance and future-proof contracting, this discussion highlights why AI is not just a technological shift—but a legal and economic inflection point for sports media. Whether you are a lawyer, executive, creator, or investor, this episode provides critical insight into why proactive legal strategy matters as AI continues to redefine the value and control of sports content.
