尼康显微视频大赛冠军因使用生成式 AI 被取消资格
Nikon microscopic video competition winner disqualified for using generative AI
尼康宣布，其 Small World in Motion 显微视频大赛原第一名作品因不符合关于生成式 AI 的比赛规则被取消资格，该视频已从官网移除，Nguyen Nam Nhat 的作品现列第一。作者 Dr. Ning Xu 在 LinkedIn 评论中承认使用了无监督神经网络方法进行 AI 辅助后处理，以区分和可视化超分辨率光学成像重建的灰度图像特征。尼康表示将重新审视未来赛事的规则与评审流程，并称取消资格不代表对其职业声誉、科学贡献或意图的评判。

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.”
