💪 Olympics in AI Mode: How Results Will Be Predicted and Sporting Events Commented

Gone are the days when football match results were predicted by Paul the Octopus; in 2024, AI has taken his place. AI analyzes data about athletes, teams, and past games, providing accurate predictions and transforming the spectator experience at major sporting events. But that's far from all the AI use cases at the Olympics, which start on July 26 in Paris.

🔈 AI Commentator

American media company NBC is using AI trained on the voice of Emmy award-winning sports commentator Al Michaels. The AI model will create personalized commentary for the Olympic games, greet users by name, and give Peacock subscribers a daily digest of news from the 2024 Olympics with voiceovers.

🏃‍♂️ Chatbot for Athletes

Intel is deploying the generative platform Gaudi 2 to create a chatbot that will help more than 10,000 athletes navigate the Olympic Village and games. Integrated into the Athlete 365 app, this smart assistant will ease the daily lives of athletes at the Olympics.

🐙 Predicting Match and Competition Results

At Euro 2024, Robotinho was tested and accurately predicted football match results. This technology was appreciated by both bookmakers and football fans.

The startup Kickoff.ai also determines the probability of team victories by analyzing video recordings of sports competitions using computer vision.

👀 Gymnasts Will Be Judged by AI

The Judging Support System (JSS) captures gymnasts' movements using cameras, and AI evaluates their performances based on image analysis. Unlike previous versions that used sensors, the new system does not require prior measurement of athletes' body shapes. According to the developing company, this will increase the accuracy and fairness of judging.
