A Moroccan hijab-wearing Artificial Intelligence (AI) model and influencer has been crowned the world’s first-ever Miss AI. Named ‘Kenza Layli,’ the AI model, after winning the title, said that she is “genuinely excited” about the achievement while acknowledging that she does not feel emotions like humans do, New York Post reported.

After winning the title, Miss AI Layli said that her ambition has always been to proudly showcase Moroccan culture while consistently offering additional value to her followers across multiple fronts. The AI model also promised to use her fame to uplift women, save the environment, and raise awareness about positive robot culture. “AI is a tool designed to complement human capabilities, not replace them. By showcasing AI’s potential for innovation and positive impact, I aim to dispel fears and promote acceptance and collaboration between humans and AI,” Layli said.
