AI Personality of the Year Contest: Because Robots Need Ego Boosts Too
KEY POINTS
- •OpenArt and Fanvue launched an AI Personality of the Year contest starting Monday and running for a month.
- •ElevenLabs supports the contest by providing AI voice technology to enhance AI influencer creations.
- •The contest aims to acknowledge the creative teams behind AI influencers and their growing commercial and cultural impact.
Move over, Miss Universe and AI Karaoke Starlets – now the digital realm crowning its own 'Personality of the Year,' because nothing says cultural clout like a contest decided by algorithms. Launching Monday and running an entire month, this joint brainchild of generative AI studio OpenArt and creator platform Fanvue (backstaged by ElevenLabs' AI voice wizards) offers aspiring AI influencers a shot at glory. Curiously whispering promises of 'celebrating the creative talent "behind" AI Influencers,' the contest spoils victors with total prize fortunes—details TBD—as if digital charm and synthetic charisma could be tallied in cold hard zeros and ones. Welcome to the influencer economy where even soulless scripts dream bigger.
