An important event for sports journalism.<\/strong> As sport becomes increasingly influenced by data analysis, predictive algorithms and emerging technologies, understanding the potential and limitations of artificial intelligence is also essential for those reporting on athletic performance. The course, worth two continuing professional development credits, addressed issues directly affecting sports journalism, from the reliability of scientific data and the protection of privacy to the responsibility of verifying information generated by AI.<\/p>\n The event was moderated by Pier Augusto Stagi, a journalist and President of the Lombardy Sports Journalists’ Association (GLGS-USSI Lombardia), who coordinated the contributions of the participating experts.<\/p>\n Claudio Pecci: ethics at the heart of research.<\/strong> The CEO and Medical Director of Mapei Sport opened the proceedings by distinguishing between ethics and professional codes of conduct, while recalling the values of Olympism. He highlighted the opportunities offered by AI in training and injury prevention, stressing the need to protect athletes’ health, individuality and privacy, while keeping human judgement central to decision-making.<\/p>\n Luca Mondazzi: AI in sports nutrition.<\/strong> The specialist in dietetics and sports nutrition examined the use of software to develop personalised nutrition plans and its implications for professional consultancy. He also urged journalists not to overstate supposed nutritional innovations that lack sufficient scientific evidence.<\/p>\n Guido Camera: law, privacy and journalism.<\/strong> The criminal lawyer explored the legal implications of AI, from personal data protection to the risks of misinformation. He emphasised the value of journalism as a form of intellectual mediation, based on the ability to select, verify and interpret information.<\/p>\n Franco Combi: medical confidentiality and pressure to return.<\/strong> The specialist in physical and rehabilitation medicine discussed the pressure that clubs and players’ entourages can place on medical staff to accelerate an athlete’s return from injury. Drawing on anecdotes from Inter’s past involving Ronaldo and Roberto Mancini, he also urged journalists to respect the confidentiality of athletes’ medical information.<\/p>\n![\"corso](\"http:\/\/www.mapeisport.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1-1024x768.jpg\")
