The Committee’s President, Abdelrahman Hammad, met with a delegation from global sports technology companies, where they exchanged views and expertise and explored avenues for cooperation to develop a digital infrastructure based on artificial intelligence. An ‘Artificial Intelligence Committee’ has also been established to explore the use of artificial intelligence tools in the sports sector, with the aim of developing strategies to identify young talent and enhance the experience of athletes and fans.
