Resumen
- Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently burst into sport, but it already plays an important role. Itis assumed that AI will become a decisive driver of change in sport in the coming years. Indeed,AI’s revolution in sport is already underway by the gradual replacement of humans by AI andhigh-tech systems, as is happening in refereeing and coaching. There are many benefits that AIcan provide to sport, such as training improvement, assisted coaching, doping monitoring, injuryprevention and so on. However, AI applications in sport are not without risk. Among them, themanipulation of athletes and competition are probably the most pressing. This paper is aimedat distinguishing among different AI uses in sport suggesting a normative and ethical frameworkthat leads to an adequate use of AI in sport and consistent with the human values with which theOlympic Movement is committed.
