Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently burst into sports, but it already plays an important role in and will continue to do so in the coming years. There are many benefits that such advanced technology can provide to sport. However, AI applications in sports are not without risk. Among them, the manipulation of athletes and the competition are probably the most pressing. There are also others, such as the radical modification of sport governance and sport competitions that will be completely mediated by this disruptive technology. In this article, I propose a legal and ethical framework that enables a reliable use of AI and consistent with the human rights of athletes and the ethical commitments of the Olympic Movement.
