Abstract

This book is the first to take a close look at artificial intelligence and neuroenhancement in the context of sport, and at the potential of these new technologies to act as enablers of neurodoping. It considers the interesting possibilities that these technologies raise for enhancing athletic performance and explores their implications for the ethics, integrity and governance of sport. Featuring the work of leading researchers in sports ethics, bioethics, digital ethics and biotechnology, the book draws on multidisciplinary perspectives from philosophy, education, biology, neuroscience and more to shine light on a technological development that is not yet listed as a prohibited method in the WADA anti-doping code. Exploring fascinating topics including neurostimulation, brainchips, cyborgization and the importance of establishing sound ethical regulations, the book takes a positive ethical view, seeing the lack of previous work in this area as an opportunity to embed ethics in sports technology and promote AI for good in sport. This book is important reading for any advanced student, researcher, administrator or policy-maker with an interest in the ethics of sport, sport technology, sport governance, or artificial intelligence.
