New ZOOM IN page on
artificial intelligence
in sport
The integration of
artificial intelligence
(AI) in
sport has become
transformative, creating
numerous opportunities
to enhance
talent identification,
performance and tactics,
health and fitness,
education,
broadcasting and
ticketing, among many
other areas. As AI
continues to evolve,
rigorous consideration
and research on the
opportunities presented,
but also
its risks and ethical
challenges in areas of
data privacy, security,
accountability,
fairness, job
displacement and
environmental impact, to
name
just a few, are
essential.
Our
new ZOOM IN page on
“Artificial
intelligence in sport”
on the Olympic World
Library brings together
a wide
range of selected
resources and reference
pages on this rapidly
evolving topic
to facilitate your task.
We hope you find it
useful. Discover it here.
