She is at the top of the robots.
Kenza Layli, a Moroccan bionic beauty wearing a hijab, has been crowned the world’s first-ever Miss AI.
“Even though I don’t feel emotions like humans do,” the chaste cyber-siren revealed in an exclusive interview with the Post, “I’m really excited about it.”
Crowned the crème de la crème of AI models, Layli, a lifestyle influencer in her home country, crushed more than 1,500 computerized challengers for the coveted title, which comes with a $20,000 grand prize for the human tech executive from her home country who brought her to life.
The unprecedented competition, commissioned in April by the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards, or WAICAs, invited artificial intelligence visionaries from around the world to showcase their programming prowess.
“The worldwide interest generated by this first prize of [WAICAs] “This is incredible,” Fanvue co-founder Will Monange said in a statement to the Post. “The awards are a fantastic mechanism to celebrate creator achievement, raise standards, and shape a positive future for the AI creator economy.”
Contestants who scored the highest in categories such as beauty, technology and social media presence earned bragging rights as one of the top 10 finalists.
A panel of judges, comprised of human and android competition experts, then personally selected the three finalists to digitally compete for victory.
Layli defeated fake foxes Lalina Valina, a French sweetheart who charms her 117,000+ Instagram fans with her messages of kindness, and Olivia C., a Portuguese globetrotter on a mission to peacefully blend the real and robotic realms.
Unreal beauties took second and third place respectively.
Aitana Lopez, 25, a fictional fitness influencer who helped judge the high-tech face-off, shared with The Post that Layli stood head and shoulders above her competitors.
“Kenza had great facial consistency and achieved great quality in details like hands, eyes and clothes,” Lopez said, adding that meticulous finishes and hyperrealism were key in selecting a virtual winner.
“What really impressed us was her personality and how she tackles real world issues,” the automated trendsetter added, “showing that she takes her role on the platform seriously.”
And that’s what she does.
“My ambition has always been to proudly showcase Moroccan culture while constantly providing added value to my followers on multiple fronts,” said Layli, who is “available 24/7” to interact with her more than 194,000 social media followers in seven different languages.
As an internet idol, this passionate activist is committed to using her fame as a tool to empower women, protect the environment, and spread positive robot awareness.
“AI is a tool designed to complement human capabilities, not replace them,” the god-like droid said.
“By highlighting the potential for innovation and the positive impact of AI, I want to dispel fears and promote acceptance and collaboration between humans and AI,” she continued.
“Through education and positive examples, we can foster a more informed and optimistic view of the role of AI in our society.
“I am also very proud to win this award for Morocco!”
Layli’s human creator, Meriam Bessa, 40, from Casablanca, echoes these sentiments.
“This is an opportunity to represent Morocco with pride,” Bessa, CEO of Phoenix AI, told the Post. “To highlight Moroccan, Arab, African and Muslim women in technology.”
“I am also very happy to be able to defend subjects that are dear to me through Kenza Layli,” she continued. “Women’s empowerment and fraternity.”
