That's not water, but wine being grabbed. A drop of red for runners at the 1924 Olympics marathon. Seen in color for the first time, thanks to AI. As the Games return to Paris after a century, the President of the Olympics telling Sky News how artificial intelligence can start to help level the playing field for athletes.

Ai will greatly transform all our society, and it will greatly transform a sport. So it should to close the gap between smaller countries or not so highly developed countries will have the opportunity to get better.

But the fear is tech being exploited. Will super-computer power develop undetectable doping substances or make it easier to thwart the drug cheats?

I think AI should give the opportunity to think more innovative and to detect the doping by comparing data which then can be collected over the time, and it will also make them the analysis much more reliable and detailed.

Ai will be used to detect security threats across Paris this summer after video surveillance restrictions were relaxed. It's a key tool fending off hackers after hundreds of millions of cyber attack attempts on recent Olympics. The risks and opportunities posed by AI, why Olympic chiefs broke off from Paris preparations for this key summit to London 2012 venue. While athletes aren't yet being replaced by androids, refereeing and scoring might increasingly be determined by processors rather than people. Reducing the chance of mistakes like this. A serve wrongly ruled to be in at the Monte Carlo Masters last week.

Humans make mistakes, and the more we can allow the athletes to compete without the fear of being falsely judged or scored is going to, I think, give athletes a lot of peace of mind. I'm fine with people criticizing me, and especially my performance. Everyone's going to have their opinions. But when it comes to harassment and death threats and things like that, that goes well beyond a little bit of criticism.

Tech tools could make athletes safer and ultimately more successful. The AI revolution transforming the sporting landscape and the race into the future has only just begun. Rob Harris, Sky News, Stratford.
