The Paris Olympics will be the most technological and sustainable Olympics in history.
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games promise to be a transformative experience, not only because of the elite sport, but also because of the integration of advanced technologies, highlighting AI. This edition is presented as the most technological in history, combining advances in AI, high-definition broadcasting, 5G connectivity and sustainability. How will the interaction between athletes, spectators and organizers be…?
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set an ambitious agenda for incorporating AI into the Games, based on Olympic Agenda 2020+5. This plan is based on five key principles: ethics, equitable access, creating meaningful experiences, respect for traditions and global collaboration. AI will be used to optimize athlete performance, enhance spectator experience and promote sustainable practices.
One of the most novel applications of AI at Paris 2024 will take place in media coverage. U.S. broadcaster NBC plans to use an AI that will recreate the voice of legendary commentator Al Michaels to provide personalized daily summaries of the competitions. This technology will not only narrate events, but will also greet viewers by name and tailor content to their interests, providing an unprecedented and deeply personalized viewing experience.
In the realm of sports performance, AI will be an essential tool. With advanced data analytics and pattern recognition capabilities, coaches will be able to develop personalized training programs, optimizing athlete performance and improving real-time decision making during the running of events. This will lead to fairer competition and raise the overall level of athletic performance.
Sustainability will also play a crucial role in these Games. The integration of AI technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) will make it possible to monitor and reduce resource consumption at Olympic venues. Paris is committed to minimizing its carbon footprint, using buildings constructed with sustainable materials and encouraging the use of green public transport, demonstrating great environmental responsibility.
In terms of technological infrastructure, the Games will feature advanced servers equipped with Intel Xeon Scalable processors to stream content in 8K, offering unparalleled image quality. 5G connectivity will ensure a seamless and accessible experience for all, while volumetric video platforms and digital twins will improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
Cybersecurity will be another critical aspect, with unprecedented measures to protect against cyberattacks, an increasingly relevant concern given the growing threat during large-scale events. Collaborating with cybersecurity experts and using AI-based technologies will seek to safeguard the integrity of data and communications.
In short, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will not only offer world-class sporting competitions, but will also set a new standard in the integration of advanced technologies, highlighting a commitment to innovation, sustainability and inclusion. The Paris experience is sure to leave an indelible mark on the history of the Olympic Games.
