Doha, Qatar: We are all familiar with beauty pageants like Miss World, where participants showcase their beauty and personalities. But imagine a pageant where the contestants are not real humans; everything about them is artificial, except for the judges. Welcome to the revolutionary “Miss AI” pageant.

From over 1,500 AI-generated female avatars created by developers worldwide including France, Brazil, India, Turkey, Portugal, and Bangladesh, the Moroccan AI lifestyle influencer, Kenza Layli, was crowned the inaugural Miss AI, with Lalina from France as the runner-up and Olivia from Portugal in third place.

The competition awarded over USD 20,000 in prizes, including a USD 5,000 cash prize for the winner, alongside AI mentorship programs, PR services, and more.

The crowned Miss AI, Kenza Layli, has around 200,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares images with captions and speech videos and represents women’s empowerment in Morocco and the Middle East.

In a video shared on her Instagram account, Layli expressed her appreciation to her fans: “I'm proud to announce my victory in the global competition, The World AI Creator Awards. A special thanks to all my followers who always encourage me. Through this competition, I aimed to represent the values of Morocco and all Arab countries.”
