The Global Experience

Paul Carter continues his tech journey at the Paris Games, and this time he's exploring how the events in Paris are being experienced by the global audience.

Paul goes behind the scenes at the high-tech international broadcast centre and finds out how AI and the cloud are transforming the global broadcasting experience of the 2024 games. Paris will be the first Olympics where broadcasting over the cloud will overtake that using satellites as a key component in the broadcast infrastructure, with footage transferred via huge data centres to broadcasters around the world. This aims to make the Paris Games far more sustainable, as this new remote-working approach requires fewer production staff on location. Artificial intelligence is also being deployed to help broadcasters and fans to edit and select the best, most relevant footage and highlights for their needs and interests.

Paul visits the Olympic Timekeeping Laboratory in Switzerland to see how AI is being introduced into the judging of key Paris events. He joins an Olympian swimmer in the pool to test out the latest smart goggles, and he tests his skills at an AI talent scouting lab that is looking to find the Olympians of the future. And Paul joins a team looking at footage from the Paris games of 1924, which is now being digitally recoloured using AI to celebrate some Olympic glories from the past.
