World’s First Artificial Intelligence Beauty Pageant Names Its 10 Finalists



At first, they said artificial intelligence was coming for our jobs, but now it seems that not even beauty pageants are safe. The Fanvue Miss AI Pageant, the world’s first beauty pageant for AI-generated female models, judges contestants on beauty, social media clout, and their creators’ use of AI tools. Fanvue, the subscription-based platform for AI creators, sparked controversy online, but based on the popularity of AI models like Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini on social media, this type of event was bound to happen at some point. About 1,500 AI-generated women were submitted by creators from all over the world, but only 10 of them made the finalists list. The judges will determine a first, second and third place winner with a prize package worth over $20,000 in total. The event, however, is about more than cash prizes, as winning the world’s first beauty pageant for AI-generated female models is bound to open up new opportunities in the fast-growing AI space. AI is already being described as the new frontier in content and influencer marketing, with the most often cited advantages being models’ availability 24/7, low maintenance compared to real people, and being able to show up virtually everywhere, anytime. The tech is still not perfect, as most AI-generated models are still easy to recognize as “fake”, but the technology is evolving at breakneck speeds.
