Models and public figures produced through artificial intelligence are now vying for the coveted title of “Miss AI.” This marks the emergence of the world’s second AI beauty pageant, where virtual individuals are recognized for their simulated beauty.
The AI-generated contestants will undergo assessment based on their appearance, presentation, technical intricacy in their creation, and their online presence. The World AI Creator Awards emphasizes evaluating the social impact of AI personas through factors such as follower engagement, audience growth rate, and platform utilization like Instagram. Miss AI represents the flagship event of this program, with upcoming editions focusing on themes like fashion, inclusivity, and computer-generated male figures. Fanvue, a subscription-based platform hosting virtual models, some of whom cater to adult content, is a key partner of WAICA.
The creator of Miss AI is set to receive a grand prize of \(5,000, along with promotional opportunities on the Fanvue platform and PR support exceeding \)5,000. Runner-up contestants will also be rewarded. The winners will be announced electronically on May 10, followed by an online awards ceremony later in the month.
AI-generated personalities like Lexi Schmidt, a presence on Fanvue, now have their own platform to showcase their beauty in this unique pageant setting.
As AI celebrities gain increasing recognition and lucrative prospects, the competition officially commenced online for submissions on Sunday. For instance, Alba Renai shared news of securing a hosting role on the Spanish version of Survivor. Aitana Lopez, a Miss AI judge, leverages her AI-generated status to earn substantial income representing brands, aided by her significant Instagram following. The judging panel also features Emily Pellegrini, an AI-generated model admired by sports icons and business moguls.
While the majority of judges embody conventional backgrounds, Andrew Bloch, an investor and PR expert, and Sally-Ann Fawcett, a beauty pageant writer, bring a traditional perspective to the panel. Fawcett expressed her astonishment at the possibilities within the realm of AI creators.
The competition mandates that participants must be entirely AI-generated, with no restrictions on the tools employed. The spokesperson for WAICA emphasized that Miss AI is more about celebrating innovation than conforming to established beauty norms. Contestants are prompted with questions like, “If you had one dream to make the world a better place, what would it be?” despite existing solely in a digital realm.
The inception of Miss AI occurs almost two centuries following the inaugural real-life beauty pageant, marking a significant milestone in the realm of artificial beauty assessment.
