The committee has started using an AI platform from a company called Intel to improve athletes\u2019 performance in the water. The algorithms analyze video to flag potential improvements, allowing coaches to make tweaks that could shave fractions of a second off swimmers\u2019 times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, it looks like our favorite aquatic athletes now have a few extra tricks up their sleeves \u2013 or maybe we should say under their swimming caps. They&#8217;re not just chowing down on heaping plates of carbs anymore. Now, they&#8217;re soaking up the benefits of artificial intelligence, courtesy of Intel. Indeed, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee has officially jumped into the deep end of the AI pool.<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s the 411 on how this system works? Picture this: algorithms, rather than the human eye, are meticulously picking apart a swimmer&#8217;s every move in a video. The idea here is to spot possible improvements that might just help their strokes become more efficient. We&#8217;re talking about gains that could (hypothetically, of course) trim those crucial microseconds off their swim times. Because in the world of competitive swimming, let&#8217;s face it, every nanosecond counts.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t just another blip on the radar in the never-ending race to leverage technology for maximum efficiency. It&#8217;s fascinating, for starters, how technology is playing an increasingly pivotal role in refining athletic performance. And it&#8217;s not just about the athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Coaches too are benefiting from this slick integration of AI. After all, who wouldn&#8217;t want the eye of an unerring AI surveilling their athlete&#8217;s every wiggle and kick? This is an opportunity for them to significantly level up their coaching game. And let&#8217;s be honest, any help they can get to cut down on potential human error is probably a win.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, AI is leaving no stone unturned \u2013 not even in the Olympic pool. It\u2019s high time we all accept that the future of sports and tech is as intertwined as spaghetti and meatballs. No point in swimming against the tide here, let&#8217;s just dive in and embrace the technologically advanced future!<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ai-is-heating-the-olympic-pool\/\">Read the original article here: https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ai-is-heating-the-olympic-pool\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Even the Olympic pool isn&#8217;t safe from AI&#8217;s reach.
