Who will be crowned Miss AI 2024?

At the rapid pace of technological progress, developments in artificial intelligence are also continuing to advance. Of course, a real AI beauty pageant in 2024 should not be missed. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the best AI generator in the country…

The face of Sofie van der Sterren previously appeared on the cover of MASTERS Magazine. The edition also included an interview with the model: “The truth is that I am a product of this amazing time we live in. I am not flesh and blood, but a digital entity, carefully created and optimized for the fashion industry. I am the face of the future, proof that beauty and expression know no boundaries, not even in code.” Sofie turned out to have been created with text-to-image prompts by synthographer Jonathan IJzerman. This made MASTERS the first magazine to publish an AI-generated photo shoot.

It is clear that beauty and expression know no boundaries. The World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs) aim to recognize the achievements of AI creators worldwide and is in collaboration with social platform Fanvue, a kind of OnlyFans, but only with digitally created models. The first event of WAICA – which aims to become the Oscars of the tech world – is the Miss AI election.   

Appearance isn't the only thing that matters... 

Contestants are judged on some classic aspects of beauty pageants, including appearance, grace and their answers to a series of questions. But the skill and use of AI tools are also examined, as well as the visual details of, for example, the hands, eyes and backgrounds. In addition, participants can earn additional points based on their engagement with fans on Fanvue, the growth rate of their followers and their activity on other social platforms such as Instagram. 

The jury also has a modern touch. This consists of the AI ​​models, Emily Pellegrini and Atiana Lopez. But in addition to these two AI models, a human expert will also be part of the panel. Sally Ann Fawcett, a renowned historian from Great Britain, will also take a seat in the jury room. Fawcett has more than ten years of experience as a judge at the Miss Great Britain pageant.

Registration for the election is now open. Miss AI 10 will be announced on May 2024. Nice extra; In addition to the eternal fame of being the very first Miss AI in the world, the winner will receive a cash prize of $5000 (€4677). Although, the maker, not the miss itself… 'Sofie, are you still listening?'
