Step aside, Miss Universe – the future of beauty pageantry is decidedly digital. The realm of beauty pageants is about to get a whole lot more artificial. Fanvue, a subscription-based platform for virtual models, is raising the digital eyebrow with the launch of “Miss AI,” the world’s first beauty pageant for AI-generated contestants.

According to The New York Post, this tech-powered spectacle is slated for May and will see computer-crafted creations compete for the coveted “Miss AI” crown. But unlike traditional pageants, these pixelated beauties won’t be judged solely on their flawless complexions and symmetrical features. The competition will be a three-pronged test, with contestants evaluated on their visual appeal, the technical prowess behind their creation, and their ability to cultivate a captivating online presence.

The stakes are high for both the AI contestants and their human creators. The top “bot” will walk (or rather, download) away with a $13,000 prize package, including a cash reward, mentorship opportunities, and valuable PR support. But the real winners are the masterminds behind these masterpieces. While the AI models bask in the digital spotlight, it’s their human creators who will claim the financial rewards and career-boosting recognition.

Panel For the Pageant

A unique blend of human expertise and cutting-edge AI will guide the selection process. The judging panel will comprise established pageant veterans like Sally-Ann Fawcett, a beauty pageant historian, alongside prominent AI influencers like Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini. Lopez, a pink-haired fitness model with a staggering 306,000 Instagram followers, brings real-world experience to the table, having amassed a significant online following and a reported monthly income exceeding $11,000. Pellegrini, another AI influencer, has also garnered significant attention, earning a staggering $10,000 in her first six weeks as a digital muse.

A Celebration of Technical Brilliance

“Miss AI” isn’t just about flawless features. The pageant also recognizes the technical mastery behind these digital creations. Contestants will be judged on the skill and tools employed in their creation, with aspects like the use of prompts, visual detailing, and the lifelike rendering of hands, eyes, and backgrounds all coming under scrutiny.

The Power of the Pixelated Like

In today’s digital age, online presence is everything. Recognizing this, the pageant will assess contestants’ “clout,” measured by their engagement with fans, audience growth rate, and their ability to leverage other platforms like Instagram. This ensures that the winning AI creation isn’t just visually stunning but also possesses the ability to resonate with online audiences. Will Indian AI influencers Naina, Sravya, Kyra or Tia Sharma be in the running for this world pageant?

The “Miss AI” pageant is more than just a competition; it’s a glimpse into the future of entertainment. It coincides with the recent rise of AI personalities like Alba Renai, a virtual host for a segment of Spain’s “Survivor.” This growing acceptance of AI influencers highlights the potential of these computer-generated personalities to engage audiences and even secure lucrative brand deals.

The Masterminds Behind the Masterpieces

While the AI models vie for the spotlight, the real winners are the human creators who breathe life into these digital beings. The masterminds behind the top entries will walk away with the cash prizes and coveted mentorship opportunities, propelling their careers in the burgeoning field of AI design.

This competition raises intriguing questions about the future of beauty standards. Will flawlessly rendered digital faces become the new ideal? And how will human and AI influencers coexist in the ever-evolving social media landscape? “Miss AI” might just be the first step in a revolution where beauty and influence are no longer defined by flesh and blood, but by the boundless creativity of artificial intelligence.

Anusuya is a content samurai, slaying mediocrity with creativity. This Calcutta-born and Bengaluru-raised girl loves crafting compelling content across all realms; social media posts that pop to website copy that sells. When she's not hunched over her laptop, you'll find her creating Pinterest boards for her next vacation or binge-watching Asian dramas.
