, The Guardian ; In – or out? Wimbledon considers replacing line judges with AI

"Line judges dodging serves at breakneck speed and arguing with hot-headed players could soon become a thing of the past.

Wimbledon is considering replacing the on-court officials with artificial intelligence.

Jamie Baker, the tournament director of the championships, said the club was not ruling out the move as it tries to balance preserving its traditions with technological innovation.
