Fanvue, an AI-based content platform, launched the first edition of The Miss Pageant Artificial Intelligence in April. Over 1,500 participants registered for the contest, which aimed to uphold beauty standards and ideal lifestyles through the use of AI technology.
The competition was judged based on appearance, realism, the use of AI, and influence on social networks. Ten finalists were selected, including Turkish influencer Seren Ay, who has over 20,000 followers on Instagram. The judges were impressed by Ay’s high-quality content and originality in portraying herself in various settings.
Virtual influencers Aitana López and Emily Pellegrini also served on the judging panel. Although Ay and other finalists were not explicitly created for the contest, they promote various brands and causes through their online presence.
Artificial intelligence played a significant role in creating characters like Ay and Zara Shatavari, another finalist from India. Despite the immense possibilities AI offers in character creation, there is a tendency to adhere to conventional beauty standards, which can be seen in the participants’ immaculate appearances.
Social causes and initiatives championed by the finalists have become crucial in the evaluations. For instance, Shatavari fights against depression and promotes health and wellness through her blog. Other finalists support movements like LGBT rights and ocean conservation, using their platforms to raise awareness.
The winner of the contest will receive a $13,000 prize and the support of a publicist to expand their audience. The organization emphasizes the importance of the scope and impact of the finalists’ initiatives in determining the winner.
