How the World Cup’s AI instant replay works

What to study

Curiosity Gap

  • On the left is the football you watch, on the right the same player as the machine sees him, a skeleton wrapped in numbers.
  • One word sits between them with a question mark.

How the packaging works
Title

The title names the tournament and promises the working of its instant replay brain.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail splits a real match photo against the machine's skeleton-and-numbers view of the same moment.

Remix this

Use this when technology or a process sees your subject differently from a person. Put the human view and the system's view side by side, and let one short label name the decision at stake.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.
