World's first beauty pageant for AI women is announced: 'Miss AI' contest will ... trends now
Beauty, poise, and classical pageantry might not be what first springs to mind when you think of AI.
But contestants in the world's first AI beauty pageant will need all of these in spades if they are to claim their share of a $20,000 (£16,000) prize pool.
The Fanvue Miss AI pageant will see AI-generated ladies go head-to-head in front of a panel of judges, including two AI influencers.
These synthetic competitors will be judged on beauty, social media clout and their creator's use of AI tools.
Will Monanage, Fanvue Co-Founder, says he hopes that these events will 'become the Oscars of the AI creator economy.'
The world's first AI beauty pageant has been announced, with digital competitors prepared to go head to head for a share of $20,000 (£16,000)
Even the judges of this competition will be AI-generated. The panel includes Aitana Lopez (pictured) an AI model with more than 300,000 followers on Instagram
To enter, competitors only need to submit an AI-generated image of a woman and provide answers to a list of questions.
These questions range from pageant staples such as 'what would be your one dream to make the world a better place?' to technical details of the AI used.
Fanvue, which is organising the awards, says it expects to receive thousands of entrants to the competition.
These contestants will be whittled down to a top 10 before the final three are announced at an online awards ceremony in May.
They will be ranked by an expert panel of four judges with expertise in the world of pageantry, marketing, and modelling.
However, perhaps the most unusual detail of the competition is that even some of the judges will be AI-generated.

The panel includes two 'AI creators', Aitana Lopez and Emily Pelligrini, who have each racked up hundreds of thousands of social media followers.
Of course, it will really be their creators who will be doing the judging, bringing expertise in how to turn AI images into advertising revenue.
They will be joined on the panel by two human judges: Sally Ann Fawcett, Britain's only pageant historian, and Andrew Bloch, Lord Sugar's PR advisor.
In many respects, the proceedings will be much like any other beauty pageant.
Contestants submit images which are judged according to their 'beauty and poise' and aspects of 'classical pageantry'.
Ms Fawcet says: 'As one of the world's only traditional pageantry historians it's really exciting to be involved in an awards which feels so futuristic.
