For example, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set up an AI-powered platform to create automated highlights by identifying key moments from each event. AI tools are also helping referees make fairer and more accurate calls.
Athlete performance is being analyzed with AI-assisted data insights and motion tracking technology, benefiting sports like gymnastics, athletics, rowing, marathons, and diving.
Intel, the official AI platform partner for the Paris Olympics, has launched a chatbot on the IOC’s Athlete365 portal to help athletes with questions about venues, guidelines, and rules.
Google has partnered with the U.S. team and broadcasters to use its AI tools, while Alibaba is using AI-powered 3D modeling to improve sports analysis across 21 disciplines.
However, there are concerns about AI-driven surveillance being used at the Paris Games to identify “suspicious activity.” Ilario Corna, the IOC’s Chief Technology Officer, says the IOC is carefully testing and evaluating how AI can improve the Olympics in the future.
