Welcome, everyone, to the latest edition of AI Magazine. With the FIFA World Cup in its closing stages at the time of writing, we’ re turning our attention to the 2026-27 Premier League season – more specifically, the mindboggling detail that goes into planning the 380 fixtures played every year.

Atos is the organisation whose AI powers the process, taking into account European fixtures, policing demands and broadcaster requirements – not to mention player welfare.

Meanwhile, The AI Interview features Mohsen Ghasempour, Chief AI Officer at Kingfisher, who explains why walking the shop floor matters more than chasing shiny new AI tools.

Now, dive into another jam-packed issue and we’ ll see you again soon.
