PRIZE-WINNING IMAGE WHICH SPARKED BACKLASH WAS AI-GENERATED, NIKON RULES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Nikon has disqualified the winning video of its Small World in Motion microscopy contest, ruling that generative AI used in its composition broke the rules. Scientists, including former judges, had flagged the footage of cilia in a child's airway as fake. The camera-maker is now reviewing the procedures of the annual contest, which has run for 15 years.
