ICSSPE is pleased to announce a Call for Abstracts for the upcoming ICSSPE Perspectives Series, Volume 17, on Sport and Artificial Intelligence
Since 1991, the ICSSPE Perspectives Series, published in collaboration with Taylor & Francis / Routledge, has provided a platform for critical, interdisciplinary, and forward-looking reflections on global sport and physical education. Following the most recent volume, A Critical Perspective on E-sports (2024), this new edition will focus on the rapidly expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI) in sport.
About the Volume
Artificial intelligence is increasingly transforming how sport is practiced, managed, taught, and experienced. From performance analysis and health monitoring to governance, ethics, education, and digital sport environments, AI presents both significant opportunities and complex challenges.
This volume aims to explore the profound and evolving intersections between sport and AI technologies, bringing together scholars and practitioners from multiple disciplines and global contexts to advance understanding, dialogue, and critical reflection.
Objectives
The ICSSPE Perspective Series, Volume 17 aims to:
- Bring together multidisciplinary experts to examine the evolving relationship between sport and AI
