The traditional beauty pageant paradigm is being upended by the inaugural “Miss AI” pageant, where contestants created entirely through generative artificial intelligence (AI) compete for a $5,000 prize. Hosted by the U.K.-based online creator platform FanVue, this unique contest features AI models that exist solely on social media, particularly Instagram, where they share photorealistic images and videos. These digital beauty queens, like Morocco’s Kenza Layli and Brazil’s Ailya Lou, engage with audiences and advocate for causes, mirroring the roles of human beauty queens. Despite their virtual nature, these AI contestants are evaluated on their looks, societal contributions, and the creator’s proficiency in using AI technology. The event aims to spotlight new creative talent in the AI space, though it has sparked debate about reinforcing traditional beauty standards. As AI influencers start to gain traction, the Miss AI pageant showcases AI’s potential in digital marketing and social media influence.
