AI influencers: the documented list

Updated · 138 confirmed virtual personas, each reviewed by a human

Every virtual creator here carries official confirmation — the operator's own statement, a platform AI label, an owner claim, or, where an anonymous operator never disclosed, named-byline investigative journalism — and each card says which. No hunches, no "probably AI."

Which influencers are actually AI?

These 138 are — confirmed, not guessed. Biggest audience first; sort by newest or launch year, or filter by type. Each card shows how we know, and links to a full sourced page: who operates the persona, every official account, and the scams that trade on the name. Personas that can't be confirmed either way are labeled Unverified on this site and deliberately left off this list.

The company's main Instagram, which runs in her name (@magazineluiza, 9.7 million followers on October 21, 2026), calls her an "Influenciadora Virtual" (virtual influencer) in its bio, and the company's own blog, written in her voice, calls her the biggest virtual influencer in the world.

How we know: Fanvue’s AI label

Not a real person. Jessica Gustaffson, the "26, based in Finland" lifestyle account (about 188,000 Instagram followers), is an AI persona. Every route her accounts offer, her Instagram's Telegram channel and her X profile's link page, ends at one Fanvue page. Fanvue labels it "AI generated or enhanced" and has classed it as an AI creator account since at least June 2026.

How we know: Instagram’s AI label

Her Instagram carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, which an account shows when its creator discloses an AI-generated person.

Maya Lanez

Lifestyle · since 2025

Instagram · 172K (October 21)

How we know: Instagram’s AI label

Openly virtual. Maya Lanez is an AI persona, disclosed by the account itself on two of its own surfaces: her Instagram (@mayalanezz___) carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, which the account added to its own profile, and her YouTube channel (@Maya_Lanez) states: "Everything you see on this channel is AI-generated. The character featured is fictional and not a real person." By its own operator's account, no real woman is shown.

◆ Openly Virtual

Bella Storm

Model · since 2024

Instagram · 156K (October 21)

How we know: Fanvue’s AI label

Yes — Bella Storm (@bellastormofficial) is openly virtual, not a real woman. Her own Fanvue profile carries the platform's own required AI-creator disclosure — an "AI generated or enhanced" tag shown at the bottom of her bio, backed by an is_ai_creator flag embedded in the page's own data — and the Italian design/culture outlet Domus profiled her human operator directly in January 2025, reporting that her "artificial nature" is "explicitly stated on her page and in private messages."

◆ Openly Virtual

Meera Patel

Lifestyle

Instagram · 137K (October 22)

Her Instagram carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, which an account shows when its creator discloses an AI-generated person.

◆ Openly Virtual

Amara Davaux

Model

Instagram · 64K (October 21)

How we know: Instagram’s AI label +1 more

Openly virtual — Amara Davaux discloses being AI-generated on more than one of her own surfaces: her Instagram (@amara.davaux) carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, which the account added to its own profile, and her own link hub (linktr.ee/amaradavaux) describes her as a "Swiss-Aussie AI muse." Her Fanvue profile independently carries that platform's own "AI generated or enhanced" creator disclosure, archived September 16, 2026. Her TikTok account (@amaradavaux_) is independently confirmed via TikTok's own oEmbed match to the same name. Her paid-content platform is Fanvue; per this site's policy for gated subscription platforms, no direct link is published here.

◆ Openly Virtual

Claire Parker

Lifestyle

Instagram · 59K (October 22)

How we know: Instagram’s AI label

Not a real person. Claire Parker (@claire.holistic.wellness, about 59,400 Instagram followers on October 22, 2026), the "75 Years Young" "Holistic Living" presenter in Boulder, Colorado, is an AI-generated character. Her Instagram carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, which an account shows when its creator discloses an AI-generated person. Her age and Boulder home belong to the character, and the health tips come from whoever runs the account.

◆ Openly Virtual

Mia Kehley

Lifestyle · since 2023

Instagram · 47K (October 21)

How we know: Fanvue’s AI label

Mia Kehley is not a real person — her Fanvue profile, cross-linked from her own hub site, now carries the platform's "AI generated or enhanced" disclosure marker (archived July 20, 2026). That's the confirmation this page previously lacked: an earlier review found only an AI-generator filename artifact on her site and deliberately held the verdict at unproven until something official existed. Now it does.

◆ Openly Virtual

Alba Renai

TV host · since 2023

Instagram · 19K (October 21)

How we know: Instagram’s AI label +2 more

Not a real person. Alba Renai (@albarenai), the virtual host of a Supervivientes web segment, is an AI-generated character made by VIA Talents, the virtual-influencer unit of Be A Lion, a Mediaset España company. Her Instagram carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, her bio calls her a "Creadora entrenada por IA" (a creator trained by AI), and her maker's page says she was "generada y entrenada por IA generativa".

◆ Openly Virtual

Hilda Wolfsbane

Model · since 2026

Instagram · 14K (October 21)

How we know: Instagram’s AI label

Openly virtual. Hilda Wolfsbane, the Viking-folk music act, is disclosed as AI by its own account: her Instagram (@hildawolfsbane) carries Instagram's "AI-generated profile" label, which the account added itself — Instagram's explanation reads "This profile features an AI-generated person instead of a real human." Her YouTube music videos carry no AI notice, which is why people ask; the disclosure is on her Instagram profile.

◆ Openly Virtual

Carmen Sofia Vega

Model · since 2024

Main account offline

How we know: Says so on her own accounts +1 more

Carmen Sofia Vega is not a real person — and the confirmation is first-person. Her own Fanvue bio states "I'm virtual and I use some AI here and there," alongside the platform's "AI generated or enhanced" disclosure marker (both archived July 20, 2026). The statement naming her specifically — the piece the earlier open verdict was waiting for — now exists, in her operator's own words.

◆ Openly Virtual

Emily Pellegrini

Model · since 2023

Main account offline

How we know: Her maker says so

Emily Pellegrini is not a real person — she is an AI-generated persona whose creator built her from a ChatGPT description of "the average man's dream girl," per his own published statements. As of August 8, 2026 her accounts have largely vanished: the Instagram all press coverage cited is no longer available, and her Fanvue disappeared in July. The verdict doesn't change — an operator's own archived disclosure can't be un-said.

◆ AI Persona — Documented

Jessica Foster

Lifestyle · since 2025

Main account offline

How we know: Press investigation

Jessica Foster is not a real person. She's an AI-generated "Army sergeant" persona that grew past a million Instagram followers posing with Trump, Putin, and Zelensky before a Washington Post investigation (Drew Harwell, March 20, 2026) found no service record, contradictory uniform insignia, and a foot-fetish OnlyFans/Fanvue funnel behind her — with an operator who has never been identified.

◆ Openly Virtual

Mia Harper

Fashion · since 2024

Main account offline

How we know: Says so on her own accounts

Resolved on the identity question, unresolved on fame: the London-based @miaharper.vi described herself — in her own Instagram bio and her own branded website — as "a virtual model, influencer," and the photos on her own site carry clear AI-generation artifacts rather than contradicting that label. That disclosure is archived; the Instagram account itself became unavailable in July 2026. The bigger complication is the name itself: at least two other distinct "Mia Harper" accounts and several unrelated real people share it, so the exact handle matters.

Inclusion standard: "virtual" requires official confirmation — an operator statement, platform AI label, or owner claim, or, where an anonymous operator never disclosed, named-byline investigative journalism — linked as evidence on the persona's page. Follower counts are read from the main account on the date shown. Disputed verdicts are re-reviewed within 48 hours. This list regenerates from the registry on every site build.

Quick answers

What is an AI influencer?

A social-media persona whose face and body are made by computer, with CGI or AI image tools, and run by a person, a studio or a brand. Some post music, fashion or fitness content and sign brand deals; many sell subscriptions. Some say clearly that they are AI. Many don’t, and that is the question this list answers.

How many AI influencers are there?

Nobody has a complete census — new personas launch weekly and many never disclose. This list covers the 138 virtual creators we've individually documented and verified against official confirmation: an operator's public statement, a platform AI label, or an owner claim — or, for an anonymous operator who never disclosed, named-byline investigative reporting establishing it. It grows with every review.

Do AI influencers disclose that they are AI?

Every one of the 138 personas on this list carries official confirmation on the record — that's our bar for inclusion — but how visible it is varies a lot. 81 carry Instagram's own AI label, which every visitor sees; 43 say so only in a bio, on their own site or through their maker, where most fans never look. Fans still search "is she real" in huge numbers, which is why each card shows how we know and each page links the evidence.

How can I tell if an influencer is AI?

Look for what a real person can't avoid leaving behind: long-form video, live appearances, third-party press naming her, a paper trail that predates her fame. Absence of those proves nothing by itself — our guide walks through the checks that work and the "AI detector" myths that don't.

Is every AI influencer on this list officially confirmed?

Yes — a persona is listed here only with confirmation on the record: the operator's public statement, a platform AI label, an owner claim, or — for an anonymous operator who never disclosed — named-byline investigative reporting, with the evidence linked on her page. Personas we can't confirm either way stay "Unverified" and are not on this list.
