On November 12, 2023, the Asian Games Digital-Intelligent Sports Demonstration Event successfully concluded at the Hangzhou E-sports Center. As a major milestone in the field of digital sports, this event not only demonstrated the broad prospects of the deep integration of technology and sports but also marked a significant step forward for the World Digital Sports Alliance (WDSA) in promoting the standardization and internationalization of global digital competition.
Many people still equate e-sports simply with video games. However, in reality, the concept of modern e-sports has long transcended traditional perceptions, expanding into the broader of digital sports. Digital sports, mediated by smart technology, test not only players’ strategy and operational skills but also emphasize comprehensive competitive abilities including physical strength, intelligence, and willpower. The two main projects of this demonstration event—AIES XR competition “Steel Assault” and AIES robot battle “Ultimate Armor”—are precisely based on cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and extended reality, truly embodying the philosophy of “technology driving the evolution of sports.”

As the first sports competition in the history of intercontinental games driven corely by technological innovation, this Digital-Intelligent Sports Demonstration Event pioneered a new precedent and clearly pointed the way forward for the future development of international sports—intelligent, digital, and global. WDSA believes that digital sports events not only redefine the boundaries of competition but also provide a practical path for the transformation of the global sports industry.

Digital-intelligent sports are not only a new form of sports but also an important bridge connecting youth, technology, and global culture. WDSA will continue to actively promote the deep integration of digital technology and traditional sports, continuously enhance the international influence of digital athletics, and jointly usher in a new era of sports digitization!
