According to the exclusive news of "The Sun" on April 12, recently, Fanvue, a foreign creator content website, held the first "Miss World Artificial Intelligence" contest, and the results of the pageant will be announced on the 10th of next month, and the award ceremony will be held later that month.
Kimochii, a 23-year-old French-Japanese mixed-race model, Kassidy Davis, a blonde beauty, and Amy Everhart, a sweet girl, as well as Hailey Lopez, a world-savvy model, and Lexi Schmidt, who has 924,000 followers, all took part in the contest.
It's fair to say that these good-looking AI models (pictured in the article) almost dwarf traditional beauty queens, even though none of them are real people.
Interestingly, the contest will also be held in a virtual world, with a jury that includes Emily Pellegrini and Aitana Lopez, two of the world's biggest AI influencers, as well as real-life celebrities — Miss Britain chief judge and pageant historian Sally-Ann Fawcett, and marketing expert Andrew Bloch Bloch）。
Unlike traditional beauty pageants, Miss AI contestants are reportedly judged on their skills and applications of AI tools, as well as their influence on social media, in addition to their beauty.
Speaking about the inaugural World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), Fanvue co-founder Will Monange said the awards would recognize the "hard work" of digital workers, after all, "it takes a lot of skill, time and effort to create these AI models and influencers." ”
Mr. Monango also highlighted, "Miss AI recognizes talent and technology, which will help raise industry standards." And when it comes to the AI economy being worth more than £1 billion this year, the tech mogul enthuses: "The creator economy is a very exciting area right now. "This is just one of the awards in our project, and we all want WAICAs to be the Oscars of the AI creator economy. ”
It is reported that the winner of Miss AI will receive £4,000, plus £2,400 worth of the Imagination Creator Mentoring Program, as well as £5,000 in PR support.
At the same time, the contest has also caused heated discussions on social media. Andrew said this will help drive the impact of AI in society, while Sally Ann believes that the combination of traditional festivals and technology to take beauty pageants to a whole new level is "a huge leap forward." ”
Sally Ann also said that traditional beauty pageants have been looking for a breakthrough, and perhaps in a few years, AI contestants can also join.
But the concern is that when AI enters the beauty pageant, how are we going to compete with these digital divas? Sally-Ann is calm, sharing, "Most of the beauty queens I've spoken to are comfortable with AI competitions," and "while they also find it a little weird, they don't feel threatened." ”
The expert told The Sun, "After all, you can be a beautiful cyber girl, but you can never beat a real, living doll." ”
