The contestants will be judged on the basis of their beauty and answers to the questions asked by the judges during the competition. Their skill and implementation of AI tools to create digital masterpieces will be scrutinised, including the use of prompts and their output and visual detailing.

“AI Creator's social clout will be assessed based on their engagement numbers with fans, rate of audience growth and how utilisation of other platforms such as Instagram,” the official website mentioned.

The models “must be 100% AI-generated,” with no restrictions on the tools being used. “Miss AI welcomes creations produced from any type of generator, whether it’s DeepAI, Midjourney or your own tool,” the rules read.
