*In the live broadcast of the AI Go platform, the winning rate of each position on the board is displayed in real timeWith the assistance of somatosensory equipment, two people can "hand-to-hand" in the air;After running a marathon, your personal highlights can be shared ...... the circle of friends immediately
The movement of you and me is becoming more and more "sci-fi". Behind this is the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data with sports, which has stimulated new momentum for the vigorous development of the sports industry.
AI whirlwind swept inside and outside the event.
In 2017, when Ke Jie defeated the "Alpha Dog" in three sets on behalf of human beings, in addition to himself, most people were just bystanders in the face of artificial intelligence. Six years later, AI is already ubiquitous in our lives.
In sports, AI has reshaped intellectual sports such as Go, chess, and chessIn high-level competitions and training in sports such as basketball, tennis, track and field, table tennis and other sports, high-tech elements such as big data analysis, auxiliary referee systems, and sparring robots are also ubiquitous. At the recent Asian Games and Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, the world was amazed by the first digital torchbearer, intelligent infrastructure inside and outside the venue, mechanical dogs on the green field, and intelligent bionic hands.
As one of the few humans who have ever "hand-to-hand" with AI, Ke Jie said that the most amazing ability of artificial intelligence is the speed of evolution. "We used to always say that 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, but now artificial intelligence only takes half a year, or even a few months, to quickly complete iterative upgrades. ”
At present, AI has changed the competition, training and even viewing of sports such as Go and chess, and on the live broadcast platform, the probability of winning each move can be displayed in real time, even beginners can see the doorway.
When AI first appeared, many people were worried about whether the mind sports would lose their charm, but now it seems that AI has multiplied the number of fans of various sports, which is like giving wings to the development of projects. Ye Jiangchuan, chairman of the Chinese Chess Association, said that at present, chess is planning to build various platforms with the help of AI, such as membership system and rating system.
At present, artificial intelligence has become an important "infrastructure" to support the iterative upgrading of many industries, and the sports industry is no exception. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC) has become a dark horse in the field of sports content production.
In the just-concluded Guangzhou Marathon, shortly after the runners completed the line, the link to the highlights was pushed to the mobile phone, and runners could immediately share it with the circle of friends and accept the likes of friends. Liu Jianhong, chairman of Kelis Technology, which provides the service, said that at the Guangzhou Marathon, the company produced a total of 2More than 70,000 pieces**, and since 2019, the company has produced more than 4.6 million pieces**.
He said that with the empowerment of artificial intelligence technology, the threshold for live sports broadcast has been greatly reduced, and an ordinary amateur game can also complete low-cost intelligent live broadcast, data collection and highlight production.
Smart sports reshape the sports experience.
At the recently concluded 25th China International Hi-Tech Fair (hereinafter referred to as the "Hi-Tech Fair"), a fighting robot attracted people's attention.
Players only need to wear a lightweight sensing device, and they can use somatosensory control robots to carry out hand-to-hand combat, and the robot's movements are highly consistent with human movements, and after a while, the operator is sweating profusely.
Tu Liang, a partner of Shenzhen Craftsman Society, who developed this robot, said that the design concept of the fighting robot breaks the physical requirements that have shackled fighting for thousands of years, and through the operation technology of "man-machine integration", everyone can participate in the sport of fighting confrontation.
Each fighter can use a robot stand-in to fight their body movements, which is no longer a direct physical confrontation, and can fully show their fighting skills without hurting their bodies. Even the physically weaker elderly and teenagers have the opportunity to compete with those in the prime of life. Tu Liang said.
Also at the Hi-Tech Fair, an AR smart swimming goggles made many people feel novel, wearing it to swim, you can display speed, distance and other sports data information.
According to the relevant person in charge of Hangzhou Light Particle Technology, this swimming goggle has a holographic display applied to the technology, which can quickly identify sports information, AR and reality do not interfere with each other, and will not affect the athlete's experience in sports, I hope that this smart swimming goggle can change people's swimming style.
In recent years, smart hardware, including smart fitness equipment and wearable devices, is becoming a new growth pole for the sports industry. The National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Measures for the Recovery and Expansion of Consumption" in July this year, mentioning that it will vigorously develop intelligent sports equipment and improve the level of scientific fitness intelligence. VR, AR and other technologies are reshaping and improving people's sports experience, which is expected to create a new blue ocean in the sports industry.
Subheading) Data analysis to create "cloud private training".
In many parks in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, outdoor smart gyms have become a popular place for citizens to line up for exercise. After scanning, the height, weight, body fat percentage, heart rate during exercise, energy consumption and other information will be displayed on the mobile phone in real time, and can be compared with historical data analysis.
Zhang Jiahua, chairman of Shenzhen Good Family Health Technology, which developed this smart gym, said that so far there have been 437 sets of outdoor smart gyms across the country, with a total of 7.96 million users and 64.12 million users.
Zhang Jiahua said that the smart gym is an "active health digital intelligence infrastructure" that integrates a new generation of information technology, relying on the dynamic follow-up of health measurement and sports data to create a scientific training closed loop of "test-training-test-improvement", so that the effect of sports and fitness on health improvement is directly visible, "equivalent to a personal trainer in the cloud, providing personalized private customization".
Artificial intelligence and hardware improvements have made it possible to produce, collect and analyze large quantities of sports data, activate data elements, or be the key to the future development of the sports industry.
Huo Bo, dean of the Institute of Sports Artificial Intelligence of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, said that data research can reveal the laws of human movement, evaluate sports performance, and form a plan for scientific and technological movement to improve sports performance and achieve scientific and active health.
At the "National Fitness and Health China Forum" held at the China Sports Culture Expo and Sports Tourism Expo held recently, industry experts generally called for breaking down information barriers and activating data elements.
Zhang Ruilin, a professor at Beijing Normal University, suggested that the construction of a national fitness information platform should be accelerated, the data exchange channels of systems at all levels should be opened, and the application of big data in the whole scene, field and process of national fitness should be explored from the two dimensions of sports governance and public service. Li Yewu, director of the Sports Information Center of the General Administration of Sports of China, said that the digitalization of national fitness is an important part of digital sports, and efforts should be made to build a smart, convenient, fair and inclusive digital public service system.
