尼康年度微观摄影竞赛《小世界在运动中》的获奖作品陷入争议。清华大学研究员徐宁提交的视频获得奖项，该作品声称展示患罕见疾病儿童气道内纤毛的运动情况，但遭多名科学家质疑其真实性1。
徐宁承认在图像处理过程中使用了AI技术，他表示"AI被用来在重建的灰度图像中区分和可视化特征"1。然而，该竞赛的规则明确禁止使用生成式AI制作内容1。尼康方面表示目前未发现规则违反，但将进行调查1。
佛罗里达大学副教授Edward Phelps观察到视频中的结构"消失又出现"，纤毛"凭空出现"1。UT西南医学中心博士生Ian Donovan指出源图像包含AI生成的特征水印1。此外，两位前评委也对图像的真实性表达了担忧1。
该竞赛已连续举办15年，此次获奖作品的奖金为3000美元（合2250英镑）1。
A winning entry in Nikon's annual Small World in Motion microscopy competition has drawn significant scrutiny over allegations of artificial intelligence manipulation. The video submission from Xu Ning, a researcher at Tsinghua University, claimed to showcase ciliary movement in the airways of a child with a rare disease and earned a $3,000 prize.1 However, multiple scientists have questioned the authenticity of the footage, citing structural inconsistencies and visual artifacts that suggest AI involvement in its creation.
Xu Ning acknowledged using artificial intelligence during image processing, stating that "AI was used to distinguish and visualize features in reconstructed grayscale images."1 Despite this admission, Xu maintained that the work did not violate the competition's rules. Nikon, which has run the contest for 15 consecutive years, said it had found no rule violations to date but announced it would conduct an investigation.1 The competition's official guidelines explicitly prohibit the use of generative AI to create content.
Scientific experts have raised specific concerns about the submission's validity. Edward Phelps, an associate professor at the University of Florida, observed that structures in the video "disappear and reappear," with cilia appearing "from nowhere."1 Ian Donovan, a doctoral student at UT Southwestern Medical Center, pointed out that the source image contained AI-generated watermark characteristics.1 Two former competition judges similarly voiced concerns about the image's authenticity.1
