A New Kind of Star
With nearly 200,000 Instagram followers and 45,000 on TikTok, Kenza is fully AI-generated, from her stunning visuals to her inspiring acceptance speech. “Winning Miss AI drives me to push AI technology further,” she said in her speech. “AI is more than just a tool; it’s a powerful force for change!”
A Global Talent Search
The Miss AI contest kicked off in spring and attracted about 1,500 entries from AI whizzes around the globe. Organized by Fanvue, this competition looked for contestants not just for their looks but also for their creators' skills with AI. Kenza was brought to life by Myriam Bessa from Phoenix AI, who snagged $20,000 and support to boost Kenza’s profile.
Tough Competition
Kenza faced tough competition from Lalina Valina from France and Olivia C from Portugal. While we’ve seen virtual influencers like Lil Miquela, these contestants are unique—they were created entirely by AI tools without any human touch.
Judged on Impact and Personality
Contestants were judged not just on their looks but also on their social media presence and their ability to answer pageant-style questions. Judges included AI influencer Aitana Lopez and pageantry expert Sally-Ann Fawcett, who were on the lookout for positive and powerful messages.
Kenza is already showcasing her personality on Instagram, loving the color red and encouraging her followers to “invest in yourself daily.” She’s also actively involved in professional events and supports her national sports team.
With Kenza Layli’s win, the future of AI in content creation looks bright and exciting!
