The top 10 finalists for Miss AI, the world's first artificial intelligence beauty pageant, have been announced.

The Fanvue World AI Creator Awards (WAICA) gained a lot of traction in April for being the first of its kind to recognise the talent of AI creators across the globe.

The judging panel, made up of Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini (two of the world’s biggest AI creators), leading pageantry historian Sally Ann Fawcett, and highly respected Marketing and PR guru, Andrew Bloch, has whittled down to the final 10.

They have creations from across the US, Africa, South America, India, Japan, South Korea, and Europe.
