Thousands of AI-generated “personalities” are competing in a new global awards programme that organisers say is the largest contest of its kind.
The AI Personality of the Year Awards, co-organised by AI creation platform OpenArt and creator subscription platform Fanvue, asked participants to build, post and grow virtual characters across categories including entertainment, lifestyle, comedy, fitness, and anime, cartoon or fantasy personas.
The competition ran over several weeks, with entrants required to publish at least four posts during the challenge period. Winners will be announced this month, according to OpenArt.
“We saw an incredible response, around 3,300 total submissions,” Chloe Fang, OpenArt’s head of partnerships, told Euronews Next. She added that the awards would offer more than $90,000 (about €76,000) in prizes and gifts.
Organisers describe it as the largest competition dedicated specifically to AI personalities, a field they say is becoming increasingly mainstream.
