Basketball Australia’s deal with Israeli AI under fire as 10,000 sign GetUp petition

Key points

• Basketball Australia's national deal with Israeli sports technology company Pixellot is facing growing scrutiny. A petition hosted by GetUp and organised by grassroots group Not All Clubs has gathered 10,000 signatures and calls for the rollout to stop.
• Campaigners say children as young as six should not be filmed without meaningful consent. Four people familiar with the tender say rival Australian-New Zealand company Glory League had been set to win before a request-for-proposal process was introduced.
• Basketball Australia says Pixellot was chosen through a competitive process, but declined to answer questions about the decision.
