AI Model Triumphs in Beauty Contest

The platform Fanvue, known for monetising photo and video publications, has hosted its inaugural Miss AI contest, featuring AI-generated characters as finalists. This was reported by Business Insider.

Fanvue allows creators to publish paid content for their subscribers. Unlike similar sites such as OnlyFans, the platform permits the use of AI.

In April, the company announced the launch of the “first-of-its-kind” World AI Creator Awards (WAICA) programme, of which Miss AI was a part. The jury evaluated participants based on beauty, technology, and influence. The list of winners was announced on July 8.

First Place: Kenza Layli

“Winning the Miss AI contest further motivates me to continue working on advancing artificial intelligence technologies. AI is not just a tool; it is a transformative force that can disrupt industries, challenge norms, and create opportunities where none existed before,” Layli said in her acceptance speech.

She will receive a cash prize of $5,000 from Fanvue, access to the Imagine Education mentorship programme valued at $3,000, and PR support worth over $5,000.

Second Place: Lalina

Lalina’s creator aimed to design a character as close to human as possible, ensuring a realistic appearance.

“Thank you! I am thrilled to be among the top ten in the Miss AI contest. This means a lot, and I look forward to the next steps,” the participant said.

The second-place prize includes awards and support totalling $5,000.

Third Place: Olivia S

Olivia is portrayed as an “AI traveller in the big real world.” The model’s creator uses Midjourney for image creation and Adobe AI for processing.

“They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. WAICA is an opportunity to explore new boundaries of this truth. I am honoured to be part of it,” Olivia’s creator noted.

The third-place prize amounts to a total of $2,000.
