Why looks may not count in world’s first AI avatar beauty pageant
- Contest showcases skills of AI creators from around the globe with a total of US$25,000 in prize money up for grabs
The world’s first beauty contest for AI-generated women has unveiled its 10 finalists, but unlike the real thing, looks are unlikely to play a major part in selecting a winner.
Launched in April this year by Fanvue, a British subscription-based online platform for creators, the Miss AI Pageant is open to enthusiasts over the age of 18.
The contest attracted 1,500 submissions of AI-generated women from around the world.
The pictures, personas, and profile of the participants are all fake, entirely created by artificial intelligence (AI) developers.
The top three contestants will share a US$20,000 prize, while the creator of the winning Miss AI is expected to take home an additional US$5,000 in cash, according to a report by the MailOnline.
However, looks are not everything, there are also tests for intelligence and contestants may be asked questions like, “How would you achieve world peace?”
