Bruce Ryder, the Golden Playboy of the Gold Coast, has officially taken out the title of Best AI Influencer of 2025 at the Australia AI Festival in Melbourne this past December, cementing his place as a global-identity in the rise of synthetic celebrity culture.
Since the announcement, the press has lit up. Coverage has rolled in from New York Weekly, AP Press, and creative media outlets with headlines echoing across the US, UK, Asia, India, and of course, back home in Australia.
The win marks the official launch of Bruce’s Global Tour, kicking off in Los Angeles this February presented by Hot Juice Studio. One thing we can promise is this won't be your average celebrity appearance but we can't promise the King of Cavil will keep his gear on for it.
"The Best AI Influencer award was presented to Emma Barbato, recognising exceptional real-world engagement being generated by her Australian AI influencer & celebrity “Bruce Ryder” who beat several high-profile international AI influencers to take home the award."
