AI FairPlay is an AI-powered platform designed to make football safer, fairer, and more transparent. Built using IBM's advanced AI technologies, including IBM watsonx and IBM watsonx Orchestrate (Bob), the platform helps FIFA, fans, and communities identify risks, prevent abuse, and strengthen accountability across the World Cup ecosystem.
FIFA AI FairPlay is an AI-powered platform that leverages IBM's AI technologies to combat discrimination, strengthen governance, and protect players and fans during global football events.
Football has the power to unite the world—but it also faces challenges including:
- Racism, sexism, and homophobia
- Corruption and governance failures
- Human trafficking and travel fraud
- Ticket scams and fake visa agencies
- Financial misconduct
- Online abuse targeting players and fans
FIFA AI FairPlay uses Artificial Intelligence as its core engine to detect risks, analyze evidence, improve transparency, and support faster decision-making.
