Meet the AI-Generated Women Taking Part in the 'Miss AI' Beauty Pageant

TIME - Tech 

The beauty pageant industry isn't what it used to be. Miss Universe, which has been around since 1952, has suffered a dramatic ratings decline in the last five years. In May, the reigning Miss USA and Miss Teen USA gave back their crowns, sparking fresh controversy in the community. Yet, a new kind of beauty pageant has emerged. This pageant is similar in many ways to the traditional experience, except for one important detail: the women are not real. The World AI Creators Awards (WAICAS) has gathered 10 finalists in their quest to find "Miss AI," the winner of a beauty pageant for women generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
