Nikon 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
- 1Nikon Small World in Motion 大赛原第一名作品因使用生成式 AI 被取消资格
- 2原作者 Ning Xu 在 LinkedIn 承认用无监督神经网络做 AI 辅助后处理来区分影像特征
- 3Nikon 上周因网上对其真实性存疑而复核，视频现已从官网移除，Nguyen Nam Nhat 作品列第一
- 4Nikon 表示除名不代表对参赛者专业声誉、科学贡献或意图的判断，并计划重审未来参赛规则与评审程序
事件的实质是 AI 后处理与真实成像的边界事先没有说清，规则滞后让获奖作品在舆论质疑后被追溯除名。
- 影响：以真实性为前提的评奖和征稿活动要投入作品核验成本；内容生产中用了 AI 后处理的交付物，边界需要事先书面约定；Nikon 宣布重审规则后，同类模糊用法的作品可能被重新审视。
- 参考：可考虑检查公司主办或参与的评奖、征稿条款是否写明生成式 AI 的使用范围；值得要求合作方申报后期处理中用到的 AI 工具；涉及影像内容的团队可先建立真实性核验流程，再发放奖项或预算。
- 依据：Nikon 官方称作品不符合生成式 AI 规则并计划重审规则与评审程序；Ning Xu 在 LinkedIn 承认使用 AI 辅助后处理；真实性质疑来自网络讨论，作品内容描述经 BBC 报道。

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.”
