AI influencer awards season is upon us
The organizers said it is intended to “celebrate the creative talent ‘behind’ AI Influencers” and recognize their growing commercial and cultural clout. Contestants will compete for a total prize fund of $20,000, which will be split between an overall winner and individual categories of fitness, lifestyle, comedian, music and dance entertainer, and fictional cartoon, anime, or fantasy personality. Despite being designed to celebrate creators of virtual influencers, Jones said that entrants don’t need to publicly identify themselves.
