The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are set to offer an unprecedented immersive and interactive experience, thanks to cutting-edge AI-driven technologies.
Sarah Vickers, leader of Intel's Olympic and Paralympic Games Office, highlighted the collaboration, stating, \"The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the world's biggest showcase for the best athletes to push the boundaries of possibility and do things we never thought possible.\" She added, \"This summer, Intel will accelerate its mission of bringing 'AI Everywhere' using Intel solutions at Paris 2024, showcasing the powerful potential of technology and AI to create immersive and interactive experiences for millions around the world.\"
Ilario Corna, IOC's Chief Information Technology Officer, emphasized the transformative impact of this partnership: \"Our partnership with Intel has propelled us into a realm where emerging technologies, powered by artificial intelligence, are reshaping the world of sport for spectators, athletes, IOC staff and Partners.\" He continued, \"Through their AI-powered solutions, Intel has enabled us to deploy AI faster than ever before. Together, in Paris, our collaboration will create an Olympic experience like never before, embodying our shared commitment to building a better world through sport.\"
AI will play a pivotal role in identifying promising athletes, personalizing training methods, and enhancing fairness in judging. IOC President Thomas Bach remarked, \"We are determined to exploit the vast potential of AI in a responsible way,\" underscoring the commitment to leveraging technology ethically.
Enhancements won't stop there. For the first time at the Olympic Games, audiences can enjoy an 8K livestream broadcast, offering stunning visual clarity. Additionally, AI technology will transform video footage of Olympic artifacts into 3D digital models, preserving the rich legacy of the Games for future generations.
The IOC's AI initiatives also aim to protect athletes from online harassment and improve the viewing experience for fans watching from home, ensuring a safer and more engaging environment for all.
