Artificial intelligence officiating applies machine learning, computer vision, and sensor-based systems to support or automate decision-making in sports. Systems range from semi-automated offside and electronic line-calling to foul and whip-use detection, automated ball–strike calls, and AI-assisted judging in judged sports. Closely related tools provide real-time athlete performance tracking, injury prediction, and scouting support, as well as enhanced broadcast perspectives via drones, collectively transforming how events are adjudicated, analyzed, and presented while raising technical, institutional, and cultural questions.
