Artificial intelligence has already made its mark in every facet of human life, and the Olympics are a recent addition. The 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games employed AI to enhance athlete performance, overcome language barriers for visitors, and boost security.
For the Paris Olympics 2024, AI-powered cameras will be employed to monitor and identify possible security threats, potentially dangerous behaviors, or events in real time to alert security for swift action.
AI will also be utilized to generate highlight videos in a variety of formats and languages for each game. Numerous multi-camera replay systems with AI-powered cloud technology will generate three-dimensional models and mapping of additional viewpoints across 21 sports, providing more compelling replays.
AI-based motion tracking will assist commentators and spectators to follow the athletes’ positions in a variety of sports, including triathlons, marathons, sailing, and others. By using AI to provide authorities with verified information for more unbiased, transparent scoring and rulings, the aim is to assure accuracy and fairness.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has further introduced an AI model to monitor and flag cyber abuse against athletes on social media.
Real-time monitoring of energy consumption with an AI model at the Paris 2024 Olympics will provide data for future planning.
In conclusion, the Paris 2024 Olympics aims to fully leverage AI’s capabilities to enhance security, athlete performance, spectator experience, and the efficiency and fairness of the games further advancing AI’s impact on transforming the Olympics experience.
