AI Is Changing NIL: Are You Ready for the Future?

This week we discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the name, image, and likeness (NIL) world. We explore how technology like ChatGPT can be used to create content related to NIL. The ChatGPT model interacts in a conversational way. During this episode, we test the tech and try to create podcast content. We talk about the ways in which it is helpful – and where it misses the mark.

Our NIL Mathlete segment discusses the deal between TCU wide receiver Jordan Hudson and Revival Fitness.

In our News and Facts segment, we discuss the launch of our Savannah NIL website, changes to NIL rules for New Jersey high school athletes, a South Carolina bill proposing that student-athletes receive work-study stipends, the National Labor Relations Board’s pursuit of unfair labor practice charges against USC, a new NIL deal between Sunday Golf and the youngest athlete on record in the NIL era, Sports Illustrated’s list of the top NIL earners, and the announcement of the 2023 NIL Summit.

We hear from Nillie Athletes Ethan Brown and Aries Gardner. We also discuss our favorite recent NIL deals, including Nathaniel Watson, Jett Johnson, and Will Rogers’ NIL deal for good through the Bulldog Initiative and Mike Novitsky’s work with the Mass Strategies Collective to promote Fight for Literacy.
