The first Miss AI pageant has just ended with a historic win for Kenza Layli, a computer-generated model from Morocco. Kenza Layli isn’t your ordinary pageant contestant. 

Entirely created by artificial intelligence, the Morrocan lifestyle influnecer has captivated the digital world with her vibrant personality and stunning visuals, amassing a strong following of 194,000 on Instagram and 45,000 on TikTok. 

Her creator, Myriam Bessa of Phoenix AI agency, has expertly crafted Layli to represent not just the beauty but the intelligence and cultural richness of Moroccan, Arab, African, and Muslim women in the tech sphere.

This victory not only marks a significant milestone for Kenza Layli and her creator, Myriam Bessa, who received a $5,000 prize along with promotional support, but it also sets the stage for future competitions where technology meets tradition. 

Launched this spring by Fanvue, the Miss AI pageant attracted over 1,500 entries from AI programmers across the globe. The competition was fierce, with participants being evaluated not just on their digital appearance but on the innovative use of AI technology and their influence on social media platforms.

 Unlike traditional beauty contests, the Miss AI pageant highlighted the creative and technical skills of AI developers alongside the charm and social impact of their creations.

In her victory speech, Kenza Layli, delivered via a pre-recorded message, shared her vision for the future of AI. “Winning Miss AI is not just an honor; it’s a call to action,” Layli expressed. “AI holds the power to disrupt and redefine industries, challenge existing norms, and unlock new opportunities for innovation and inclusion.” 

She emphasized her commitment to promoting diversity within the tech world, ensuring that the evolution of AI is shaped by a multitude of voices and perspectives.
