Swedish Ski Federation Implements AI to Digitize History and Ensure GDPR Compliance

The Swedish Ski Federation (Svenska Skidförbundet) has taken a major step forward by integrating generative AI technology to manage sensitive personal data and digitize over 100 years of ski competition results. This innovative initiative aims to handle the vast amount of information related to athletes, volunteers, and recreational skiers while adhering to strict GDPR regulations.

The federation deployed a scalable AI Copilot agent, developed by Capgemini, that automates the processing of incoming emails, identifies recurring GDPR-related questions, and suggests legally compliant responses. This reduces administrative burdens and streamlines internal operations.

Importantly, the AI solution has enabled the digitization and organization of historical competition results dating back to 1908. These records will be made searchable and accessible to the public through skidor.com, allowing families and fans to explore more than a century of Swedish skiing achievements. Additionally, the AI platform facilitates interactive visualizations of competition data and key metrics related to recruitment and performance at both recreational and elite levels.

Secretary General Pernilla Bonde highlighted the importance of structured and careful work in providing the best conditions for all participants. IT manager Ulrika Jacobsson noted that the AI helps interpret and arrange extensive historical archives, enhancing operational transparency. Capgemini has been praised for its proactive and flexible collaboration in tailoring the AI solution to the federation’s specific needs.

This development represents a significant leap in combining AI technology with sports administration, improving data accessibility and compliance while preserving an important cultural sports heritage.
