Description

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) are launching a special request for applications for targeted research projects on the application and impact of artificial intelligence in the area of anti-doping.

Priority will be given to projects focusing on responsible management of big data, the good practices that need to be implemented to support the integration of digital innovation into the fight against doping, application to societal problems related to drug abuse, and application in the health and education sectors.

Key areas include:

Primarily

Possible analytical techniques and application of artificial intelligence that can identify the use of prohibited substances and/or actions suggesting attempts by athletes, members of an organization or an organization itself to bypass anti-doping rules. The analysis will be based on data selected by WADA and, if applicable, propose new sources of data, both external (public) and internal.
