Miss AI, which will demonstrate a shift in how we perceive beauty and creativity within the realms of AI, will bring together ‘AI creators’ from across the globe to showcase their digital masterpieces and vie for the coveted Miss AI crown.
Contestants will be assessed on traditional pageantry elements like beauty, poise and their responses to thought-provoking questions aimed at making the world a better place.
Judges will evaluate contestants’ proficiency in leveraging AI tools to craft their digital artworks. This includes the use of prompts, resulting creations and attention to visual details that make imagery appear more ‘real’ – ie. visual detailing around hands, eyes and backgrounds.

The social media influence of AI creators will also be scrutinised based on factors such as fan engagement, audience growth rate and utilisation of platforms like Instagram – basically, she’s got to be an influencer.
The top three winners of Miss AI will be rewarded with prizes culminating in a total value of $20 000 (R367 828), including a $5 000 (R91 957) cash prize for the ultimate Miss AI champion, courtesy of Fanvue.
