Olympic AI agenda: we need collaboration to achieve evolution

Artificial intelligence (AI) represents the latest industrial revolution, bringing potentially boundless opportunities with transformative advances within medicine, including injury and illness prediction, imaging interpretation and outcome measures, among others. AI entered elite sports approximately 30 years ago with a particular focus initially on two areas: sports performance and predicting injury. AI applications are now growing at a formidable rate, with new applications such as assisting player recruitment, officiating, tactical decision-making and broadcasting. The influence of AI within elite sport is impossible to ignore, which led the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to develop the Olympic AI Agenda (OAIA), outlining various focus areas where AI should be leveraged to produce positive benefits. We discuss two priorities below.
