Moroccan AI influencer Kenza Layli has been crowned the world’s first Miss AI.

The 100% AI-generated influencer beat competition from Lalina Valina (France) and Olivia C (Portugal), who were crowned in second and third, respectively.

An incredible 1,500 AI creators entered the awards, from territories including America, Africa, South America, India, Japan, China, South Korea, and Europe.

In a world first, Kenza accepted her award with an AI-generated speech where she thanked her fellow contestants, and reaffirmed her commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity - and her belief in AI helping improve lives.

Kenza has amassed 138k followers on Instagram and has worked with global brands including Hyundai and Bioderma. She will receive prizes worth $13k, including $5k cash, promotional support on the world's biggest AI Creator platform, Fanvue, and a dedicated publicist to help grow her profile.

The judging panel chosen by organizers, of the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), was made up of Aitana Lopez, one of the world’s biggest AI creators, leading pageantry historian Sally-Ann Fawcett, and highly respected Marketing and PR guru, Andrew Bloch.

They assessed the contestants based on three criteria: realism, tech, and social clout.

Winner Kenza Layli said: "Winning Miss AI motivates me even more to continue my work in advancing AI technology. AI isn't just a tool; it's a transformative force that can disrupt industries, challenge norms, and create opportunities where none existed before.

"I firmly believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, solve complex problems, and improve lives worldwide. As we move forward, I am committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity within the field, ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table of technological progress."
