“I’m about to start my broadcasting career at Fox and I’m using AI in preparation for that so I can better understand matchups, plays and different situations that arise in the game,” said Brady, via BizTech Magazine.
Brady did not elaborate on how the AI will help him in his new broadcasting job at Fox, for which he will earn $375 million.
“Had so much fun in Las Vegas speaking to the @cisco crowd,” Brady posted on Instagram.
“Thank you for the warm welcome. #CiscoLive”
Brady’s revelation was met with some surprise on social media.
“Does football’s winningest QB need AI to understand the game?” one fan said.
“Didn’t gaming do that for you?” a third noted.
Brady is already turning heads on Fox Sports with his impressive work ethic.

Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd, host of Herd with Colin Cowherd, has had Brady on his show before and the former Patriot gave insight into how he’s approaching the job.
“Certainly, with the network, I don’t think, for me, it’s about competition,” Brady said.
“I think for me, it’s about ‘Did I put everything I could into this? Did I give the fans everything they expected?’
“And that’s how I’ll end up evaluating myself.”
Cowherd said the work ethic has already impressed NFL executives, including Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard.
“I was with (Brady) I think a week ago,” Cowherd said.
“I asked my first question and it took him about four minutes.
“Like, Chris Ballard, the Colts GM, called me two days later. He said, ‘You know, I was listening to that.’ And he said, ‘Man, hey, he’s really good.'”
Brady and Cowherd work for the same network, so he’s getting a good look at the future Hall of Famer’s work.
Even he had to admit that Brady is doing everything he can to prepare.
“Brady is working long hours,” Cowherd said.
“I don’t follow it, but sometimes I see someone in the building. I say, ‘What is this?’ And they said, ‘Oh, Tom’s in the building today.
“And I thought, ‘It was like the seventh time.’ Everything is big with Tom.”
Brady’s first game with Fox Sports is a matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns on September 8.
The game starts at 4:25 pm ET.
