March 10 (Reuters) - ‌Ukraine’s Maksym ​Murashkovskyi ​credited artificial intelligence for helping him win a silver medal ‌at the Milano Cortina Winter Paralympics, ⁠calling ChatGPT a “revolutionary technology” after finishing runner‑up ‌in Sunday’s biathlon event.

Murashkovskyi, ‌a 2023 world championships bronze medallist, was edged out by China’s Dang ​Hesong and narrowly missed the gold.

“For the past six months, ⁠I have been training with ChatGPT,” Murashkovskyi, 25, told ​reporters.

“It was not only tactics. It was half of my training ​plan, motivation, et cetera. ‌So it was a huge volume of all of my ⁠training.

“I used it as a psychologist, coach and, sometimes, as a doctor.”

He ⁠added that AI could eventually replace some of ​the work provided by human coaches.

“Not completely for five to 10 years. But part of ‌it, definitely,” he said. “I believe in it, it is a ‌revolutionary technology.”

Ukraine have won 10 medals ⁠at this year’s ‌Paralympics so far.
