Nikon photography contest winner loses title after scientists spot signs of AI

Nikon stripped Dr. Ning Xu of the top prize in its 16th annual Small World in Motion contest after an investigation found that his microscopy video violated competition rules. Xu, a researcher at Tsinghua University in China, had submitted footage purportedly showing cilia beating in the airway of a child with primary ciliary dyskinesia, a rare respiratory disorder. Scientists questioned the clip after observing cellular structures with inconsistent sizes and forms that appeared and disappeared in ways they said do not occur in cellular biology. Ian Donovan, a PhD student at UT Southwestern Medical Center, said the apparent source image contained a watermark associated with AI-generated imagery, while two former contest judges also raised concerns. Xu later acknowledged using AI during post-processing to distinguish and visualize features in reconstructed grayscale super-resolution images, while denying that AI generated the video, cilia, or their movement. Nikon awarded the top spot instead to Nguyen Nam Nhat of Vietnam for a video featuring a tiny roundworm and a single-celled organism. Nikon said it will revisit its rules and evaluation procedures for future entries.
Steam Users Beg for "No AI" Filter as Vibecoders Flood Next Fest

Steam Next Fest, Valve’s event for indie games and demos, has prompted calls from some Steam users for a filter that excludes titles disclosing AI-generated content. Users browsing the event reported seeing games promoted with imagery they believed was AI-generated and criticized what they described as low-effort or “vibe coded” submissions. Steam already requires developers to disclose AI-generated content, according to users requesting the filter, and Steam’s Discovery Queue currently helps surface games for players. Reddit user ScalesGhost asked for a Discovery Queue setting to filter out games containing AI-generated content and to exclude selected tags such as incremental games. Steam has an established tagging system, although Valve reduced the number of user-defined tags in May; an AI-content filter would require Valve to add AI as a tag. Other users said the volume of suspected AI-generated games had made Next Fest harder to browse and called for stricter submission rules. Valve has generally relied on Steam’s recommendation algorithms rather than extensive curation to elevate popular games and reduce visibility for low-effort submissions. AI use in game development is also expanding: Epic recently delayed an upcoming Star Wars shooter to pursue what it called an “AI-first” direction, while Capcom’s REX program reportedly uses AI to help improve the RE Engine.
