39-year-old Iranian woman crowned Miss Germany 2024 as pageant embraces inclusivity

CEO says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said language and cultural inclusivity is "very important" to his company's mission as it builds and trains powerful artificial intelligence systems. An Iranian-born mother says she is "endlessly grateful" after celebrating her victory in being crowned "Miss Germany 2024" after the pageant loosened rules on age. Apameh Schönauer, a 39-year-old mother, won the pageant last week. During the contest, she said on stage that she wanted to advocate for women who are dealing with the difficulties of being a migrant in Germany. The win is a symbol of the pageant's moves toward inclusivity in beauty.
