For the first time in its history, artificial intelligence (AI) became an essential component of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Applications ranged from providing divers with 3D graphics of their time and speed using a computer vision system to offering athletes a chatbot for inquiries and using an AI-powered review system to monitor and eliminate abusive comments on social media.
