Nikon disqualifies AI-generated microscopy contest entry after expert scrutiny

A post citing BBC News says Nikon disqualified Dr Ning Xu's winning Small World In Motion video after scientists questioned its portrayal of cilia in the airway of a child with PCD. Xu acknowledged using AI but said he believed the entry followed the rules. After consulting its judges, Nikon said the video did not comply with its rules on generative AI and that it would review the contest's rules and procedures.
