Press Release | November 4, 2022
The American Racing Team is very pleased to announce a multi-year agreement with BOSS AI as the title sponsor of the squad, as well as a collaborator in a major artificial intelligence project to increase performance on the track.
BOSS AI is a leader in the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning industry with a focus on helping leaders get more from their data. With their deep experience working with the Federal Government, health sciences, financial, media & entertainment, automotive, BOSS AI is well-positioned to bring AI to the motorcycle-racing industry.
The American Racing x BOSS AI collaboration will create a new decision-engine to help the American Racing engineers make faster, real-time decisions, using historical data from the bike in past seasons, as well as detailed weather updates. Federated Machine Learning sensors on the bike will collect real-time data to be used in machine learning algorithms which means the American Racing Team will be able to evaluate thousands of options in mere seconds in order to make the best calls possible and increase track time efficiency. Such technological advancements and workflow changes have now become the norm in many other racing series such as F1.
Eitan Butbul, Team Owner: I’m delighted and incredibly excited about our new venture with BOSS AI, as they become both title sponsor and make this upcoming project possible. This comes as a result of the great partnership we had this year with Dell Technologies, who brought in BOSS AI and a successful pilot operation conducted with the team that clears the way for next year’s project. I want to take this opportunity to thank Russ Loignon from BOSS AI, Mei Zhou from Dell and my right-hand and American Racing Technical Director, Matthieu Grodecoeur, who will manage the project.
Russ Blattner, CEO of BOSS AI: We are very excited about the opportunity to bring AI and Machine Learning to the racing world. With our unique Federated Machine Learning solution, we can process data at the edge, which is the perfect solution to improve racing results.
Matthieu Grodecoeur, American Racing Team Technical Director: We are very excited to start this new chapter together with BOSS AI. In 2022 we worked on a predictive model for tire pressures, which showed to be very promising. Reaching a collaboration on a larger scale will open doors to solutions for all other aspects of bike setup. As an engineer, I’m always looking for marginal gains and using the latest in cutting-edge technology. With the motorcycles in Moto2 being so similar and a simple 0.1 of a second making all the difference in this class, this is an enormous opportunity to improve our overall package and help our riders to reach their full potential.
