Olympic organizers joined the global trend of utilizing this quickly developing technology on Friday by presenting their creative idea to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into sports. In outlining its goals, the International Olympic Committee emphasized how AI may help find talented athletes, customize training, and improve judging equity. This calculated action has the potential to completely transform global competition standards and athlete development.

In less than a month, the Paris Olympics will take place, and the IOC has unveiled its innovative artificial intelligence plan. With the help of this program, athletes will be shielded from cyberbullying, and domestic viewers’ viewing pleasure will be improved, increasing the billions of dollars that broadcast rights sales generate. The IOC’s AI plan, which is centered on innovation, promises an Olympic show that is safer and more interesting for everyone.
AI Dominates the Paris Games
Bach stated that the IOC has formed a working group to promote AI integration in sports, and that the next Olympic Games in Paris promise to be a showcase for AI innovation. The local organizers’ proposal to use AI for security, leveraging sophisticated video systems to spot possible threats like abandoned goods or unexpected crowd movements, is controversial.
Digital watchdog groups continue to express worries about the continued use of face recognition technology, despite the French government’s assurances to the contrary. This underscores the intricate relationship that exists between innovation and privacy rights.
