Athletes and AI – level 1

Athletes and AI

02-07-2024 07:00

In 1976, 14-year-old Nadia Comăneci gets the first perfect 10 in the Olympics. The scoreboards show 1.0. They cannot show 10.0. Nadia gets six more perfect 10s because she makes no mistakes.

Today, AI helps judges. AI checks if athletes should get high scores. Now, scores mix points for how well you perform and bonus points. It is not easy to get a 10. AI shows data quickly on TV. Sports like swimming, diving, tennis, and athletics use AI for judging.

Omega, the timekeeper, catches detailed moments. People are testing AI in local sporting events before the Olympics. Visitors can try an AI lab to check their sports skills. AI gives quick feedback to help athletes get better.

Difficult words: scoreboard (a board which shows points in a game or match), judge (a person who decides the results in a game or competition), feedback (information about performance).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What role does AI play in judging and scoring in sports like swimming, diving, tennis, and athletics?
