What Is an AI Influencer and Why More Brands Are Turning to Virtual Models

Introduction

The world of influencers is changing fast. Traditional influencers bring visibility but also risks – unpredictability, scandals, and loss of brand message control.

That’s why more brands are looking for digital solutions. One of the fastest-growing ones are AI influencers – virtual models that can communicate 24/7, always look flawless, remain consistent, and stay completely under a brand’s control.

In this blog, you’ll learn what AI influencers are, how they work, and why they’re becoming a serious alternative to traditional influencer marketing.

What Is an AI Influencer?

An AI influencer is a digital model created through a combination of artificial intelligence, creative design, and storytelling. They have their own personality, communication style, and visual identity and actively participate in promoting products and brands on social media platforms.

An example of this is Laura Ris from CodeModels.AI – a fashion AI influencer active on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and X (Twitter), showing how virtual models can become independent digital brands with a clear identity.

💡 Key idea: An AI influencer is not a “fake human” but a fully functional digital brand ambassador.

Advantages of Virtual Models

• Complete image control
  Every photo, post, and campaign looks exactly as the brand wants – no compromises.
• 24/7 availability
  No sick days, vacations, or unpredictable situations.
• Saves time and money
  No travel, fees, logistics, or complicated contracts.
• Fast adaptation to trends
  Styling, messaging, and campaigns can change in an instant.

💡 Example: In a single campaign, Laura Ris can change her styling, location, and mood – all digitally, with no physical limitations.

Why Brands Are Turning to AI Influencers

• Audiences love storytelling and visually consistent content.
• Brands want to control every aspect of communication.
• AI influencers are a safe investment – no scandals, unpredictable statements, or sudden changes of opinion.
• They enable fast testing of new ideas with minimal cost.

Unlike traditional influencers, AI models allow brands to build long-term identity without depending on a real person.

💡 Tip: AI influencers are perfect for fashion campaigns, the beauty industry, tech promotions, and travel marketing.

How AI Models Support Digital Marketing

• Consistent communication – constant presence across social media.
• Tailored content – visuals and messages customized to fit the brand.
