Flickr Faces High-Quality (FFHQ) is a dataset of photos used for face synthesis. The dataset was published in 2016 and contains 70,000 total images. Exposing.ai located 65,043 original photos from Flickr used to build FFHQ. The dataset has been used in at least 14 projects spanning 9 countries, including 6 projects that may have commercial applications.
FFHQ has recently become one of the most widely used datasets for generating fake faces. For example, the popular website ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com uses synthetic faces made from the FFHQ dataset.
To help understand how FFHQ has been used around the world by commercial, military, and academic organizations; existing publicly available research citing Flickr-Faces-HQ Dataset was collected, verified, and geocoded to show how AI training data has proliferated around the world.
