Sports have become one of the most data-intensive domains on earth. Every professional game generates millions of data points, player movements tracked to the centimeter, biometric readings captured in real time, ball trajectories computed with millimeter precision. Artificial intelligence transforms this deluge into competitive advantage: predicting which players will break down, identifying optimal game strategies, even determining what calls referees should make.
AI Reshapes Athletic Healthcare # Sports medicine stands at the intersection of elite performance and medical responsibility. Artificial intelligence is transforming how injuries are predicted, prevented, and managed, from wearable sensors tracking biomechanical stress to algorithms determining when a concussed athlete can safely return to competition. But these powerful tools create equally powerful liability questions: When an AI clears an athlete to return and they suffer a catastrophic re-injury, who bears responsibility?
