Today, these datasets no longer originate in labs, but instead from family photos albums posted on Flickr, CCTV cameras on college campuses, livestreams at cafes, search engine queries for celebrities, or <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/22/16180080/transgender-youtubers-ai-facial-recognition-dataset">videos on YouTube</a>. </div></p><p>These datasets include many public figures, politicans, athletes, and actors; but also many non-public figures: digital activists, students, and pedestrians. Some of the images were originally used with creative commons licenses, but others were taken in unconstrained scenarios without anyone's awareness or consent. During the last year hundreds of these datasets have been collected to understand how they contribute to a global data supply chain powering surveillance.</p> +<p>MegaPixels is art and research by <a href="https://ahprojects.com">Adam Harvey</a> about publicly available facial recognition datasets that aims to unravel the stories behind these datasets.</p> +<p>[Mozilla[(<a href="https://mozilla.org">https://mozilla.org</a>)] has provided the funding to launch this site, research the datasets, and build tools to help you understand the role that these datasets have played in creating surveillance technolgoies.
