The International Olympic Committee has launched an AI-powered monitoring service to protect athletes and officials from online abuse during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

According to IOC, the system will monitor thousands of accounts in real-time across all major social media platforms and in more than 35 languages.

Any threats identified will be flagged, so abusive messages can be dealt with by the relevant social media platforms before athletes can see them.

The joint project of the IOC Athletes' Commission and the IOC Medical and Scientific Commission will prioritise the safety and well-being of athletes throughout the Games.

The system will help the IOC understand the challenges athletes face in relation to online abuse and improve the protection of athletes at future events.

The online monitoring system will be available to 15,000 athletes and more than 2,000 officials at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The aim is to ensure a safe online and offline environment during the Games, supporting the physical and mental health and well-being of athletes so they can focus on competing in the biggest event of their sporting careers.
