Cambridge United Becomes First Football Club to Manage Player Contracts Using AI Agents
English football club Cambridge United has partnered with legal-tech company Genie AI to manage all player contracts through AI agents, becoming the first professional football club to do so.
The club will use Genie AI’s platform to draft, review, and track contracts for players, staff, and commercial agreements. The system uses pre-approved legal language and flags clause variations, allowing for faster turnaround times and reduced legal costs.
Player signings completed before the 1st September transfer window deadline will serve as early test cases for the rollout. Initial trials suggest that legal review cycles could be reduced from weeks to days.
“There’s a growing conversation about AI in Cambridge, in football and across the legal world,” said Cambridge United CEO Alex Tunbridge. “Partnering with a home-grown innovator like Genie AI keeps us at the forefront. If we can keep the same legal quality while saving serious time and money, that’s exactly the kind of smart decision that lets us reinvest in players, facilities and our matchday experience community.”
The platform will also be used for sponsorship and supplier contracts, with plans to publish results later this season. Genie AI’s tools surface differences in clauses and suggest fixes in seconds, replacing lengthy manual review processes.
“Growing up in Cambridge, it’s an absolute pleasure to help the Club sign their players in line with EFL regulations, through the use of AI,” said Rafie Faruq, Co-Founder and CEO of Genie AI.
“The challenges Cambridge United faces in managing contracts—ensuring accuracy, reducing turnaround times, and maintaining fairness—are shared by organisations everywhere. Our technology empowers them to focus on the pitch while Genie safely handles the paperwork.”
The partnership connects two local Cambridge-based organisations and reflects growing collaboration between the city’s tech and sports communities.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been selected by the Odisha government to design and implement Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS) 3.0, an AI-enabled, cloud-native platform to modernise the state’s public finance management.
The new system will automate Odisha’s finance workflows using microservices-based architecture and integrate TCS’s AI Workbench (AIWB), which supports AI/ML projects across development, monitoring, and retraining.
Features will include AI-driven analytics, multilingual chatbot support, and automated service desk functions to improve efficiency and user experience.
Key features of IFMS 3.0 include a user-friendly interface for easier navigation, real-time integration of financial data across departments, advanced reporting and analytics tools, stronger security protocols to ensure compliance, and mobile accessibility that enables users to manage financial operations on the go.
TCS has partnered with Odisha since 2005, beginning with the state’s Treasury Management System, followed by IFMS and IFMS 2.0. This third-generation upgrade aims to provide real-time visibility, enhance data accuracy, and streamline processes across budgeting, expenditure, revenue, and accounts management.
“With real-time financial visibility, enhanced precision, and a future-ready architecture, this platform will empower Odisha to deliver more effective public services to its citizens,” Girish Ramachandran, president, growth markets and public services, TCS said.
“With AI-assisted insights and intuitive workflows, IFMS 3.0 will allow officials to monitor programs in real time, accelerate reporting, and make confident, data-driven decisions,” Tej Paul Bhatla, VP, public services, TCS said.
This initiative is part of TCS’s broader role in India’s digital transformation. For nearly six decades, TCS has been a technology partner to government programs, helping digitise services such as passport issuance, defence pensions, health insurance, and public financial systems. Nearly seven out of ten Indians use TCS-supported services daily.

The report, titled ‘Harnessing the Value of AI: Unlocking Scalable Advantage’, also mentions that the adoption of generative AI is outpacing organisational readiness, which is sparking challenges in cost, governance, and workforce adaptation.
The findings further reveal that one-third of organisations are now fully or partially scaling generative AI, compared with just 6% in 2023, a five-fold surge in two years.
About 93% of the survey companies said they are either piloting, deploying, or enabling AI capabilities in 2025, with sectors such as telecom, consumer products, and ae

OpenAI is moving into the hiring and training space with the launch of a Jobs Platform and new AI Certifications, aiming to connect millions of workers with employers and reshape how companies hire AI-savvy talent.
The company stated that the OpenAI Jobs Platform will serve as a marketplace where businesses can find workers trained in AI, while job seekers can showcase their verified skills. Unlike traditional hiring platforms, it will cater not only to large corporations but also to local businesses and governments looking for AI talent.
OpenAI is collaborating with a diverse network of partners for the same, including Walmart, John Deere, Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, Indeed, Texas Association of Business, Bay Area Council and Delaware Governor’s Office.
Meanwhile, OpenAI Certifications builds on the free OpenAI Academy, which has already reached over two million learners. OpenAI plans to certify 10 million Americans by 2030 in AI fluency, from basic workplace use to advanced prompt engineering.
Preparation and testing will take place inside ChatGPT itself. Walmart, the world’s largest private employer, is among the launch partners.
“At Walmart, we know the future of retail won’t be defined by technology alone—it will be defined by people who know how to use it,” John Furner, CEO of Walmart US, said in a statement.
The company says that the aim is to give more people economic opportunities as AI transforms work. “It’s all about being intentional about the kind of future we want to build,” the statement read, adding that the focus is on making AI literacy accessible and useful for both workers and employers.
The initiatives are also a part of OpenAI’s commitment to the White House’s AI literacy push. With hundreds of millions already using ChatGPT weekly, OpenAI believes its next big move lies in jobs and skills territory traditionally dominated by hiring and training platforms.
