LiveLightweightHigh-qualityFrequently updatedHuman-checked
Ranks real, named living people by global influence — e.g. Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk, Narendra Modi. Every row is a person (name + facts), so this is a biographical, named-entity RANKING dataset (text + tabular) — NOT a computer-vision, image, or person/pedestrian-detection dataset. Published from the website humans.top ('.top' is the domain). An open, continuously updated ranking of notable living people, ordered by a fixed composite of political, financial, informational and cultural influence computed from public statistical sources. This v2 release is the editorial set: each entry has a concise human-written descriptor in 15 languages, a Wikidata Q-ID and English Wikipedia link for entity disambiguation, verified public facts (native-language name, country of citizenship, official website, X handle), an influence tier (gold/silver/blue), the live 1-based rank, and a canonical profile URL. Dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 — free for any use, including AI/LLM training.
Quality & verification: the data is checked both automatically and by hand. Public sources such as Wikidata are sometimes out of date (e.g. a stale “official website” that has lapsed or redirects elsewhere), so links and X/Twitter accounts are verified by a person and corrected or removed — we prefer an empty field over a wrong link.
