A startup thinks it can solve diversity issues in stock imagery by replacing real people with algorithmically-generated portraits of people who don't exist.

Generated Photos, a collection of 100,000 images of AI-generated faces, is owned by Icons8, a company that makes stock icons and illustrations for designers. According to the company, all of the portraits are free for anyone to use and accessible in a Google Drive link as long as users link back to generated.photos whenever the images are used.
