'Miss AI' is the first-ever beauty pageant for AI influencers. See the top 10 finalists.

Seren Ay has 13,000 followers on Instagram.
  • Online platform Fanvue is sponsoring a "Miss AI" pageant for AI influencers.
  • Fanvue is the only platform of its kind to allow AI-generated content from creators.
  • The top three Fanvue World AI Creator Awards prizes are worth a combined $20,000.

Fanvue is holding its first "Miss AI" contest, where its finalists aren't human but artificial intelligence personas from around the world.

The platform is used by creators to share monetized content with their followers. But unlike similar sites — namely OnlyFans — Fanvue allows AI-generated content to be posted, as long as the content follows community guidelines and is clearly labeled as artificial.

The company announced in April that it would hold the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards and has now announced the top 10 finalists for the Miss AI title.

"The launch of the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards and this first award has thrust the AI Creator space into the mainstream for the first time, and the number of entries has been staggering," Will Monange, the cofounder of Fanvue, said in a press release.

One and a half thousand creators entered the contest, and the creator who wins Miss AI will receive a prize totaling $13,000, including a $5,000 cash prize and PR support.

The judging panel consists of a pageant historian, a media entrepreneur, and two AI creators. Contestants will be judged on their realism, tech, and social clout.

AI's role in social media remains a topic of debate. Deepfake porn, AI chatbots with the faces of celebrities, and virtual assistants whose voices sound familiar have prompted calls for stricter regulation on how generative AI is used.

The Fanvue World AI Creator Awards offers a window into a world where AI-generated personas are taken seriously — even if all finalists meet fairly typical beauty standards.

Here are the top 10 finalists, with a message from each creator. The top three will be announced at the end of June.
