AI has risen and how! With the technology now being used in almost every other sector, the glamourous world of modelling and fashion has also claimed the technology for their own. These AI-generated models will be competing in a beauty pageant called 'Miss AI.'
The World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), a global program honouring AI creators, is behind this unique event. According to WAICA's website, 'Miss AI' marks the first installment of the awards, blending traditional beauty pageantry with the world of AI creators.
Contestants will be judged on criteria like beauty, tech, and clout, the site says. Additionally, their use of AI tools to craft digital artwork will be evaluated, including their creativity and attention to detail.
Some aspects of the competition are like a typical pageant where the contestant will be be judged on poise, beauty, and unique answers. Other aspects are more tech inclined, like earning points for implementing AI tools, with attention being paid to prompts and their outputs, focusing on visual details around eyes and hands, among other aspects.
The competition will also take into account the participant's social media influence including factors like fan engagement and audience growth across platforms like Instagram.
Entrants must be entirely AI-generated, and there are no restrictions on the tools used. The winner of 'Miss AI' will receive a $5,000 cash prize, promotion on the Fanvue platform, a mentorship program valued at $3,000, and PR support worth over $5,000.
The runner-up will get $5,000, free access to an Imagine Education course of $500, and PR support worth over $2,500. Meanwhile, the third place model will get $2,000, a free consultancy call with Imagine Education worth $500, and a $500 promotional package from Fanvue. PR support worth over $1,000 will also be provided.
Entries for the pageant were accepted starting from April 14, and the winners will be announced on May 10, followed by an online awards ceremony later in the month.
The judging panel includes four members, two of which are AI-generated judges with significant social media followings, Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini. The other two are humans: Andrew Bloch, an entrepreneur and PR adviser, and Sally-Ann Fawcett, a beauty pageant expert and author.
