CONI - From Digital Evolution to Robot Revolution

Annalisa De Luca, Digital Transformations Lead at the Italian National Olympic Committee in Italy

Presentation rendered in the panel "From Digital Evolution to Robot Revolution - Humanity, Communications, Ethics."

Showcase video included: Maradona vs UK - World Cup'86

Key points by the presenter:

It is at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality that lies the future of technology for sports. It is here, in my opinion, that we will see the biggest value added for the world of sports.

The world is full of technology that can help sports become more accurate, so how come we haven’t seen an invasion of technology in sports just yet? I believe this is because sport is about emotions and passion, not just about accuracy. We would all agree, for instance, that the history of football is better off with Maradona’s goal – the one he scored with a little help from “la mano de dios” – than without it: it’s given us a story to remember, a memory to share, even something to argue over perhaps. Innovation in sport is about making a better game, one we are excited to talk about with friends and fellow supporters.

The Hawk-Eye is a good example: ultimately, it made tennis a better game to watch. It helped create more stories and new compelling content that wasn’t even conceivable before. When the shots in dispute are replayed on the screen, TV commentators can discuss the shots in more detail. The Hawk-Eye even allows for a bit of suspense and has the capability to record statistics as the match progresses. Media commentators use this by calling up statistics as a topic of discussion while the tennis matches are being played.

So game-enriching Artificial Intelligence opened the floodgates to technological innovation in sports. The next decade will be dominated by technology that enables bringing the couch closer to the action, closing the gap between the athlete and the fan. The next frontier of the sports will use technology to give fans an on-the-field experience of the game through Virtual Reality. Fans want that kind of experience. Fans want to be on the field. For the sports fan, it presents a whole new understanding of what it means to be an athlete, to be in the game, to run for gold.

Vidhu Shekhar, PhD Fellow Student, IIM Calcutta in India

Economics, Humanity and Communication

Vidhu Shekhar, PhD Fellow Student, IIM Calcutta in India

Presentation rendered in the panel "From Digital Evolution to Robot Revolution - Humanity, Communications, Ethics."

Key points by the presenter:

Human's ability to communicate in a sophisticated manner has been a crucial foundation for Economic and Societal development. Research suggests that ability has demarcated us from other life forms and led to the formation of large societal groups based on Economics of collective well-being. Bartering, shared tool development, monetary systems, knowledge exchange and propagation, all of them require the ability of communication.

Unfortunately, communication has undergone a role reversal in recent times, with complex communication becoming a tool of hiding details rather than propagating overall well-being. This can cause enormous implications and actually turned into one of the significant reasons for 2008's Global Financial Crisis.

The same issue has also led to a decrease in the fundamental importance of communication as a key to the overall progress of humankind, especially in the case of emerging economies like India and China which have a larger population, and thus require more, and proper communication.

This role reversal is being currently discussed in an attempt to be corrected, so that communication will again become the main driver of human and economic progress.
