Abstract: By the methods of literature and logical analysis, the intelligent governance system of urban sports in China has been studied. It believes that artificial intelligence technology has brought a good opportunity for the reform of urban sports governance in China, as intelligent identification and accurate screening can provide detailed data information, scenario simulation and topic aggregation can reduce costs and improve efficiency, logical judgment and perceptual reasoning can provide decision-making assistance, and process supervision and efficiency feedback can help realize tracking evaluation and performance evaluation. However, at present, the application of artificial intelligence in urban sports governance faces many practical challenges: the multiple governance subjects are not strong either in their motivation or ability; the fragmentation of governance structure leads to the inability to share information resources; there are still some defects in reliability and safety; there are still obvious deficiencies in policies, systems and markets. In order to promote the development of China's urban sports intelligent system in the new era, the concept of the governance subject should be transformed to improve its technical ability, the sports governance structure should be optimized to break down the barriers of information and data, technology research should be stressed to highlight the safety supervision, and policy support should be strengthened to improve the system construction.
