Nikon 显微视频大赛冠军作品因使用生成式 AI 被取消资格
Nikon microscopic video competition winner disqualified for using generative AI
Nikon 以“不符合关于生成式 AI 的比赛规则”为由，取消了 Small World in Motion 大赛原第一名视频的资格。该视频来自 Dr. Ning Xu，声称展示 PCD 患儿气道中纤毛的运动；此前网上对其真实性提出质疑，Dr. Xu 在 LinkedIn 承认使用了 AI 辅助后处理来区分和可视化重建灰度图像中的特征。

Nikon says the video that originally won first place in its Small World in Motion contest “did not comply with the competition rules regarding generative AI.” BBC reports that the original first place video from Dr. Ning Xu claimed to show “tiny, hair-like structures called cilia moving in the airway of a child with the respiratory condition PCD.” Nikon said last week that it was reviewing the video following skepticism online about its authenticity.
In a comment on LinkedIn, Dr. Xu admitted to using AI for the video: “An unsupervised neural-network method was subsequently used for AI-assisted post-processing to distinguish and visualize features in the reconstructed grayscale images from the super-resolution optical imaging.”
Dr. Xu’s video has now been disqualified and appears to have been removed from Nikon’s website. A video from Nguyen Nam Nhat now holds first place, according to the contest’s updated rankings. Following the incident, Nikon says it plans to “revisit rules and evaluation procedures for future competition entries.” It also noted in its statement on the contest that the decision to disqualify Dr. Xu’s video “should not be interpreted as a judgment of the entrant’s professional reputation, scientific contributions, or intent.”
