The article is an opinion piece on the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence in the evaluation of children and young people in youth sports. The author raises the question of how far the use of data and technology should be taken in the evaluation of children and adolescents in the sporting context.
Technology is presented as a reality that has come to sport to stay, and the author acknowledges the benefits of its application. Currently, it is possible to collect an impressive amount of information about athletes, which allows detailed analysis of sporting performance.
However, the article questions the ethical and practical limits of this mass use of data, suggesting that excessive reliance on algorithms to make decisions about children's sporting future may be problematic. The text appears to advocate that human evaluation should not be completely replaced by algorithmic decisions when it comes to the future of children in sport.
