The Moroccan digital influencer wearing the hijab Kenza Layli, a fervent advocate for women’s empowerment, was crowned the world’s first Miss AI at the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs).

Out of more than 1,500 competitors, Kenza Layli is the AI influencer who most convinced the jury members, winning the grand prize of $20,000 for her human creator. In a statement to MailOnline, they say they were impressed by the cutting-edge technology behind the Moroccan, as well as her convincing "personality". "Kenza Layli stood out for her digital makeup and her commitment to educating the world about Moroccan culture while defending women’s rights," said a jury member. Lalina Valina, the French AI influencer with over 117,000 Instagram followers, took second place, ahead of Olivia C., a Portuguese globetrotter.
