Nikon disqualifies Small World in Motion winner over generative AI use
Nikon stripped first place in its Small World in Motion microscopy video contest from Dr. Ning Xu, saying the entry broke the contest's rules on generative AI.
Nikon has disqualified the first-place winner of its Small World in Motion competition. The company says the video "did not comply with the competition rules regarding generative AI," according to The Verge.
The New York Times reports that Nikon disqualified the winner over how A.I. was used in the submission.
The Verge, citing the BBC, says the winning video came from Dr. Ning Xu. It was described as showing cilia, tiny hair-like structures, moving in the airway of a child.
The reports do not say how the AI was used or who now holds first place.
