AI Beauty Pageant: The Future of Beauty Contests
The concept of beauty contests dates back to 1825, but the world is now witnessing a new kind of beauty pageant in the form of “Miss AI.” Hosted by Fanvue, a social media platform dedicated to AI models, and in collaboration with the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA), this event is the first official beauty contest for AI models.
The panel of judges for “Miss AI” includes two AI-generated influencers, Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini, as well as two human judges, Andrew Bloch and Sally-Ann Fawcett. Lopez, based in Barcelona, Spain, has over 300,000 followers on Instagram and reportedly earns $10,000 per month. Pellegrini, created in January 2024, is said to be earning $10,000 per week.
While “Miss AI” is a formal contest, it is not the first of its kind. Previous competitions have used AI judges to evaluate human submissions based on criteria like youthfulness, skin quality, and symmetry. The rise of AI models in the fashion and media industry is gaining popularity, with nearly half of GenZ showing interest in brands with AI influencers.
The contestants for “Miss AI” include influencers from around the world, each bringing their unique style and perspective to the competition. The top three winners will receive prizes totaling over $20,000, including a $5,000 cash prize and other perks.
Despite the growing popularity of AI influencers and models, there are concerns about representation and diversity in the beauty industry. Some brands have rejected AI models, emphasizing the importance of keeping beauty real and promoting genuine connections.
The future of beauty contests may be shaped by AI models, but the debate over standards and diversity in the industry continues. As technology advances, the role of AI in beauty contests and media representation will likely evolve.
