BBC News 2 weeks ago 28
Nikon is re-evaluating the winning video from its Small World In Motion microscopy contest after scientists criticized it as AI-made or altered. The winner was submitted by Dr Ning Xu from Tsinghua University and the video won the contest’s $3,000 prize. Nikon says it is investigating and will issue an update soon, while Xu says his AI use was limited to distinguishing features in reconstructed images within the contest rules.
