The 2024 Paris Olympics promise not only thrilling sports action, but also the groundbreaking integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance both the experience and safety of the Games. At Yseop, the leaders in generative AI for BioPharma, we understand the transformative potential of AI across a variety of sectors.

Olympic AI Agenda

The Olympic AI Agenda is the third in a trilogy of strategic documents introduced under the leadership of IOC President Thomas Bach, following Olympic Agenda 2020 and Olympic Agenda 2020+5. The document outlines the anticipated impact of AI on sport, aligning with the IOC’s mission of promoting solidarity and inclusivity. It establishes a governance and oversight framework to identify and mitigate risks, leveraging insights from leading experts worldwide.

Enhancing Logistics and Sustainability

The Olympics will use AI solutions for a variety of cases including transportation and crowd management. Predictive algorithms will be able to adjust public transport schedules and reroute buses to ensure timely arrivals and avoid congestion. AI-powered cameras can monitor crowd density in real-time, aiding in efficient crowd control at venues like the Stade de France. Additionally, AI-driven energy management systems will optimize energy use across Olympic venues, enhancing sustainability and reducing the event’s carbon footprint.

Supporting Athletes’ Performance and Safety

AI’s role extends to the very heart of the Games—the athletes. Advanced AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to provide insights into training regimens, injury prevention, and performance optimization. This will help athletes fine-tune their preparations, allowing them to perform at their best while minimizing the risk of injury.

One of the most commendable uses of AI at the Paris Olympics is in protecting athletes from online abuse. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has implemented sophisticated AI systems designed to monitor and filter social media platforms for abusive content. These systems use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to detect harmful messages, ensuring that athletes can interact with fans without the fear of encountering toxic behavior.

Additionally, AI systems can monitor social media platforms and alert law enforcement to take swift action against perpetrators, fostering a positive and respectful online environment.
