Are you ready for Miss AI?

Are you ready for Miss AI?

Not only girlfriends and influencers created with artificial intelligence, there is also a beauty contest on the way that will elect the first Miss AI in the world (and Enzo Mirigliani is probably turning in his grave). All the details

Although beauty pageants may seem outdated, even super-advanced technology like artificial intelligence (AI) has its candidates and one of them will become the queen. The contestants, rigorously created with AI, will be judged both on their appearance and their engagement skills.

THE FIRST MISS AI COMPETITION

The world's first beauty pageant dedicated to artificial intelligence "represents a huge leap forward" according to the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA), which has created an awards program in addition to this. The event “takes place nearly 200 years after the first real-life beauty pageant took place in 1880,” say the organizers, whose inaugural partner is Fanvue, a subscription platform that hosts AI content.

TESTS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

As in more traditional beauty contests, the contestants generated by artificial intelligence will also be judged on their fashion show, appearance, bearing and answers to questions, but the contestants will also earn points for their technical ability and the implementation of TO THE.

WAICA has in fact explained that the jury will evaluate the competitors based on their "beauty, technology and ability to influence in order to obtain the crown".

Judges will also consider the way and extent of entrants' interaction on social media, including their audience growth rate and how they engage with fans on their platforms.

THE JURY

And who better to judge them than two celebrities also generated by AI? Among the four members called to crown the winner are the influencers Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini, totally virtual stars with millions of followers and contracts with brands (TikTok itself is thinking of introducing influencers created with AI to promote the products ). Alongside them there will then be two humans, the beauty pageant historian and author Sally Ann Fawcett and the marketing guru Andrew Bloch.

PRIZES AND AWARDS

The winners will be announced on May 10th but the online awards ceremony will take place at the end of the month. The jury will nominate first, second and third place with a prize package worth a total of over $20,000. Miss AI, in addition to $5,000, will receive AI mentorship programs and PR services.

THE CREATOR MARKET…

For Will Monanage, co-founder of Fanvue, “the creator economy is an extremely exciting place to be in right now, and with the help of our platform, there has been exponential growth in AI creators entering this space, grow their fan bases and monetize the contents."

Furthermore, according to Monanage, the World AI Creator Awards should become the Oscars of the AI ​​creator economy.

…AND THE SEARCH FOR VIRTUAL LOVE

And there are those who seem to agree with him. Just a few days ago the New York Post quoted a tech executive as saying “it's only a matter of time before someone builds the next billion-dollar dating app that matches real users with girlfriends created by artificial intelligence.”

Perhaps love is really in crisis, in fact, a recent survey by Infobip found that almost 20% of Americans have flirted with chatbots: almost half of them (47.2%) did it out of curiosity, while the 23.9% said they felt lonely and were looking for interactions. Around 17% said they had been “AI-phished”, meaning they didn't realize they were talking to a chatbot, and 12.2% confessed they were looking for a sex chat in a private space.
