AI Character Awards
Overview
AI Character Awards is the selection and recognition program operated by AI Character Association for the AI character field.
We select and recognize projects that have demonstrated outstanding activity in the AI character field — including AI VTubers, AItubers, AI influencers, and conversational AI characters — based on our independent research and evaluation criteria.
