Gymnastics is leading the way in applying artificial intelligence to the judging of elite sport, and it could be used to help decide medals at the LA Olympics.
Bosses in the sport said they would be "highly surprised" if AI-assisted judging was not implemented at the Games in 2028.
This is despite some leading gymnasts criticising its use at the recent World Championships, saying they were "not robots" and warning it could be "dangerous".
Olympic champion Carlos Yulo and British gymnast Harry Hepworth had the difficulty rating of their vaults downgraded in qualifying.
Both were performing the piked Dragulescu and had their scores reduced from a 5.6 to a 5.2.
They attempted the same vault in the final with Hepworth finishing sixth, while Yulo fell and came seventh.
On his return from Rotterdam, Hepworth told BBC Sport: "On the half twist I bend my legs so that I can prepare for the landing, which I think is the most sensible thing to do because you don't want to break your legs or anything.
"But the AI detection system caught on to it and said I was doing a tuck position, which then downgrades the vault by four tenths.
"It definitely cost me a few positions, I think, in the final for sure."
