MLB Bans Hitters From Consulting AI Chatbots Before Going Up to Bat

MLB has told teams to stop using AI chatbots on dugout iPads for in-game advice.

The ban follows reports that some clubs were using chatbots to help with substitutions, pitch calling, and other strategy decisions.

The league is moving to prevent any unfair competitive edge and keep game-time decisions human-led.

The policy underscores MLB’s intent to limit AI assistance during games, even as teams use more technology elsewhere.
