Dataset By Humans

Real data, made by people

Dataset By Humans is an independent data studio. We produce image datasets the slow way: people go out with smartphones, photograph the real world, and then carefully process every image so it is safe and useful for training AI.

Why we exist

AI systems increasingly learn from scraped or synthetic data of unknown origin. That creates blind spots, especially for regions and conditions that are underrepresented online, and legal uncertainty for the teams building on it. We think there is lasting value in data with a clear, documented chain from capture to delivery.

Where we work

We currently collect in Vietnam & Southeast Asia, a region with dense motorbike traffic, Vietnamese scene text, tropical agriculture and food cultures that most public datasets barely cover.

How we use AI ourselves

Our images are never generated or altered by AI. We do use software, including AI-based detection, to find faces and plates to blur, and we may use AI tools to help draft text such as translations of this site. When AI assists with dataset labels, the datasheet says so.
