What is Miss AI?

Miss AI is the world’s first beauty pageant for AI-generated models. The official WAICA website says it “will celebrate the technical skill and work behind digital influencer personas from across the world.”

AI influencers are online personas created with artificial intelligence. They have AI-generated avatars with idealized female aesthetics. 

Individuals or companies host social media accounts and post messages and other media to build their online persona.
