100-word summary
Spain's LaLiga is running AI agents across talent scouting, broadcast production, and fan engagement through a subscription model built by tech firm Globant. The setup pairs autonomous AI agents with human supervisors who step in when needed. A similar system at Santander Pay boosted team productivity by 50%. LaLiga becomes the first major sports league to use AI agents beyond analytics, automating everything from personalized content creation to competition management. The program will be showcased at Nvidia's GTC conference in March. The bet: AI agents can handle repetitive creative work faster than humans alone, freeing staff for decisions machines can't make.
