UNITED KINGDOM - The stage is set for the world's first AI beauty pageant where beauty is entirely artificial.
Models created using generative artificial intelligence (AI) are competing in the inaugural "Miss AI" pageant this month.
The contestants, who have no real-life physical presence and exist only on social media platforms, were created using AI technology. They can be seen online doing everything from talking about the causes they support to dancing and singing.

According to the the U.K.-based online creator platform, the shortlist includes Kenza Layli from Morocco, who has already amassed 186k followers on Instagram and promotes empowerment of women in the Middle East.

"Having been a judge on Miss Great Britain for the past 10 years, and written a number of books on pageantry, I was fascinated to see the sort of entries we'd get into this contest."
She added, "The realism of each contestant and their individual stories and what they're doing to be a positive influence on the world really stood out to me.
