Abstract: Based on the ethical risks posed by artificial intelligence and the international response, this paper summarizes the complexity and particularity of the ethical issues in sports artificial intelligence from five aspects: (1) the wide range of sports subjects; (2) the priority of application in sports field; (3) the emphasis on sports events and different sports sub-discipline; (4) the challenges of technology promotion and popularization; (5) the specific conditions of different countries and regions. Based on the report The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: Issues and Initiatives, the paper defines ethical risks related to the major performance and generation mechanism of sports artificial intelligence: (1) security risks caused by fitness/health privacy data leakage; (2) the risk of lacking human subjectivity in sports activities arising from the low transparency of decision-making process; (3) the dilemma of accountability in sports activities resulting from the ambiguity of rights and responsibilities; (4) the labeling of sports participants by algorithmic discrimination; (5) the risk of unfair competition due to misuse or abuse of intelligent technology. It is suggested that the path to alleviate the ethical risks of sports artificial intelligence can be explored from the following four aspects: (1) enhancing strategic planning and top-level design; (2) jointly creating an interdisciplinary platform for the ethical risk management of sports artificial intelligence; (3) constructing a three-tier risk response system of “prevention”, “construction” and “management”; (4) strengthening education and training on the ethical risks of artificial intelligence in the sports industry.
