The world recently became witness to a pageant unlike any other, as the very first Miss AI competition, organized by the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), has crowned its winner. Kenza Layli, a hijab-wearing virtual Moroccan influencer, emerged victorious after surpassing over 1,500 other artificial intelligence contestants from around the world, including the US, Africa, South America, Europe, India, Japan, and South Korea.

Part of the world’s first AI family, Layli’s engaging content often focuses on Moroccan society and aims to empower women in Morocco and the Middle East. Additionally, her creators are pushing for better regulation in the influencer market. Using a sophisticated mix of technologies, they generate her images, videos, and audio entirely through AI.

Unlike traditional pageantry, where physical beauty typically reigns supreme, Miss AI offers a multifaceted evaluation. Contestants were assessed for their visual appeal, with judges scrutinizing the detail and artistry behind their digital design. However, the competition extended far beyond a pixel-perfect face. A significant portion of the score came from the technological innovation employed in creating the AI. Judges analyzed the proficiency of the underlying algorithms, the creativity in using AI tools, and the overall technical execution.

The final piece of the judging puzzle was the candidate’s social media presence. The AI hopefuls were tasked with building an online following through engaging content and interaction. Metrics like follower growth, audience engagement, and effective platform utilization played a crucial role in determining a contestant's success.

Layli, programmed with a deep understanding of fashion and social media trends, impressed the judges with her ability to engage in conversations about lifestyle topics. In a post-victory interview with the New York Post, Layli, though unable to feel emotions like a human, expressed her satisfaction with the win, highlighting the potential of AI to play a positive role in society. The US$20,000 grand prize will be awarded to Layli’s creator, a Moroccan tech entrepreneur.

“We were equally impressed with Kenza’s message and her ability to engage such a substantial audience tied to Moroccan society and women’s empowerment in the Middle East. She illustrates the power of AI creators to deliver powerful messages to the world,” said Aitana Lopez, a judge and AI personality who served on the panel alongside human experts.
