The world's first Al beauty pageant has crowned its winner, Moroccan influencer Kenza Layli, who beat out over 1,500 computer-generated competitors to win the $20,000 grand prize for her human manufacturer.

Part of the first-ever World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), the beauty contest is organized by Fanvue, a website that caters to creator content.

In an interview with the New York Post on Monday, the Hijabi Instagrammer stated, “Even though I don't feel emotions like humans do, I'm genuinely excited about it.”

“The global interest in this first award from WAICAs has been incredible,” Fanvue co-founder Will Monange told The Post.

“The awards are a fantastic mechanism to celebrate creator achievements, raise standards, and shape a positive future for the AI Creator economy,” Monange added.

The Moroccan defeated a Portuguese traveler named Olivia C. and a French influencer named Lalina Valina, who has over 117,000 Instagram followers.

According to 25-year-old Aitana Lopez, an imaginary fitness influencer and one of the judges of the AI beauty contest, “Kenza had great facial consistency and achieved high quality in details like hands, eyes, and clothing.”

“My ambition has always been to proudly showcase Moroccan culture while consistently offering additional value to my followers across multiple fronts,” said Layli, who boasts over 194,000 social media subscribers.

She emphasized that artificial intelligence is a technology meant to enhance rather than replace human abilities.

“By showcasing Al's potential for innovation and positive impact, I aim to dispel fears and promote acceptance and collaboration between humans and AI. Through education and positive examples, we can foster a more informed and optimistic view of Al's role in our society. I am also very proud to win this award for Morocco!” She said.

Meriam Bessa, a 40-year-old woman from Casablanca who created Layli, stated her pride, “This is a chance to proudly represent Morocco,” Phoenix AI CEO Bessa stated to The Post.
