In a one-of-its-kind event, the world’s first Miss AI has been crowned. Kenza Layli, an artificial intelligence-powered influencer, achieved this historic title at the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA). Created by the Moroccan company Phoenix AI marketing agency, Layli triumphed over more than 1,500 virtual models in the virtual beauty pageant.
The Journey to Becoming the World’s First Miss AI
Kenza Layli’s journey to becoming the world’s first Miss AI shows the transformative potential of artificial intelligence. Layli expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity, emphasizing the importance of AI in reshaping industries and creating new possibilities. “Winning Miss AI motivates me even more to continue my work in advancing AI technology. AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a transformative force that can disrupt industries, challenge norms, and create opportunities where none existed before,” Layli ‘stated’ in her acceptance speech.
With over 200,000 Instagram followers, Layli’s digital persona not only engages in sponsored content but also promotes women’s empowerment and environmental conservation. Her content, presented in seven languages, highlights Morocco’s culture and modern technological advancements.
The Future of AI Influencers
The Miss AI pageant evaluated contestants based on aesthetics, online influence, and technical proficiency. Judges included AI influencers and notable figures such as media founder Andrew Bloch and beauty pageant historian Sally-Ann Fawcett. The competition saw France-based Lalina Valina and Portuguese Olivia C taking second and third places, respectively. WAICA awarded around $20,000 in prizes, with Layli’s creators receiving $5,000 and additional PR services from Fanvue.
Unlike human influencers, AI models offer continuous, tailored interaction and adaptability to changing trends. Layli’s victory sets a new precedent for AI influencers, heralding a future where the line between human and AI personas becomes increasingly blurred. Events like the Miss AI pageant will continue to push the boundaries of what virtual beauty competitions can achieve.
