Introduction: The use of data analysis to predict athletic performance and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) for tasks such as image recognition has become widespread in the sports industry. Although Taiwan have enacted the Personal Data Protection Act and associated regulations, there is no specific legal framework governing the application of AI technologies in this context. This raises important questions regarding the compliance of AI applications with existing laws. Furthermore, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and various sports governing bodies have yet to establish specific self-regulatory standards for AI use in sports. Methods: While previous studies have extensively addressed the use of big data and other forms of data processing in the sports industry, there is a notable lack of research examining the legal implications of AI applications, particularly in the domain of sports law. This article focuses on the application of AI to sports-related image data, and emphasizes that training data should only be collected with the consent of the individuals involved, and that data obtained through public surveillance should not be used. The analysis begins with a review of a landmark 2018 UK court case concerning facial recognition technology, and is further supported by an examination of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and relevant domestic legislation. Key considerations for legal compliance and risk management in AI deployment within the sports industry are outlined. Results: The primary recommendation is the development of provisional guidelines for AI applications that reflect current industry practices and legal standards. It is proposed that regulatory authorities overseeing the sports industry introduce guidelines specifically tailored to address the use of generative AI and other emerging AI technologies. Conclusion: To mitigate the risks associated with AI applications in sports and ensure compliance with both domestic and international legal standards, contracts should clearly stipulate the specific purposes for which AI will be used, the usage limitations, and the data retention periods. Based on the relevant Constitutional Court rulings, it is also advised that regulatory bodies enhance the legal framework surrounding personal data protection and data governance in the context of AI. |
