World’s First Miss AI Crowned

Kenza Layli has been crowned the world's first Miss AI. She's a hijab-wearing bionic model from Morocco.

“While I don’t feel emotions like humans do. I’m genuinely excited about it.”

Crowned the best of artificial intelligence models, Layli is a lifestyle influencer in Morocco and beat out over 1,500 computerised challengers.

This earned her a $20,000 grand prize for the human technology executive who created her.

The pageant, commissioned in April by the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards, or WAICAs, invited global artificial intelligence visionaries.

“The global interest in this first award from [WAICAs] has been incredible. The awards are a fantastic mechanism to celebrate creator achievements, raise standards, and shape a positive future for the AI Creator economy.”


The top 10 finalists were those contestants who scored the highest marks in beauty, technology, and social media presence. 

A panel of judges, made up of human and android pageant experts hand-picked the final three.

Layli beat out faux foxes Lalina Valina, a French beauty who charms her over 117,000 Instagram fans with her messages of kindness, as well as Olivia C, a Portuguese globetrotter on a mission to peacefully mix the real and robot realms. 

These beauties achieved second and third place. 

“Kenza had great facial consistency and achieved high quality in details like hands, eyes and clothing." 

“What truly impressed us was her personality and how she addresses real issues in the world, showing that she takes her role on the platform seriously.”

Layli said, "My ambition has always been to proudly showcase Moroccan culture while consistently offering additional value to my followers across multiple fronts.”

She revealed she's "available 24/7" to engage with over 194,000 social media subscribers, in seven languages. 


“AI is a tool designed to complement human capabilities, not replace them. By showcasing AI’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 AI’s role in our society. I am also very proud to win this award for Morocco!”

Her human creator, Meriam Bessa agrees with these sentiments. 

“This is an opportunity to represent Morocco with pride. To highlight Moroccan, Arab, African and Muslim women in the field of technology.”

“I am also very happy to be able to stand for subjects that are dear to me through Kenza Layli. Women empowerment and sisterhood.”
