Wada to use AI in bid to terminate doping cheats

The World Anti-Doping Agency plans to use artificial intelligence in its fight against doping, Olivier Niggli, the organisation's director general has exclusively revealed to i. There's a lot of promising things," Niggli said. Wada will launch a call for pilot artificial intelligence projects in the coming weeks, as it intensifies attempts to use the technology. The organisation believe that artificial intelligence can be used to identify suspicious athletes, raise red flags and improve how testing is targeted. Under the plans for how to use the technology, if an athlete was flagged by artificial intelligence, it would trigger immediate additional targeted testing. Wada intend to use artificial intelligence to identify patterns in the vast amounts of data that anti-doping bodies already collect.
