This might be the last Olympics without AI judges

While robot skiers are taking to the slopes alongside humans in Pyeongchang, an Olympics partner is readying artificial intelligence judges for the next summer games in Tokyo. Japanese company Fujitsu is developing software that uses data from 3D sensors to analyze gymnastics events like the pommel horse and floor routines, according to a video released by the company last year. Fujistu is reportedly introducing this technology at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. To create the judging software, Fujitsu first captured 3D data of professional gymnasts' performances in 2016, in an effort to create a "bone structure model" for athletes. This allows the company to understand and digitally simulate the exact position of each gymnast, which is then compared to international gymnastics committees' standards.
