In a move that promises to redefine the future of the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with tech giant Intel to leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) at the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
This collaboration will see the deployment of a suite of AI-driven solutions that will transform the Olympic experience for spectators, athletes, and staff alike. From immersive 8K live streaming broadcasts to interactive fan activations, the IOC is poised to deliver a technological showcase that will captivate audiences around the world.
"Our partnership with Intel has propelled the IOC into a realm where emerging technologies, powered by AI, are reshaping the world of sport," said Ilario Corna, the IOC's Chief Information Technology Officer. "The 2024 Paris Games will provide an Olympic experience like never before, with innovations that will redefine how we engage with and preserve the legacy of the Olympic movement."
Another critical element of the IOC’s AI-based approach is an 8K live streaming system that will provide a level of detail and clarity that has never before been seen. The use of AI analytics and live data enables for an experience in and out of contexts, as fans will be taken right into the game in a way that has never been possible before.
To further preserve the rich history and heritage of the Games, the IOC and Intel want to use video footage of Olympic artefacts and mementos to create 3D digital models. The memories and accomplishments of Olympic athletes and events will be preserved for future generations thanks to this creative method, which will also improve the on-site experience for visitors.
"The partnership between the IOC and Intel represents a significant step forward in the integration of AI technology into the world of sports," says technology analyst, Emily Ramirez. "By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, the 2024 Paris Olympics will set a new standard for fan engagement, broadcast quality, and the preservation of the Olympic legacy."
The world cannot wait for the 2024 Paris Games. Given the excellent transformation anticipated, driven by the IOC’s cooperation with Intel Corporation, the future of the Olympic experience has always held more promise in capturing the imagination of people worldwide.
