"AI Unveils Glimpses of Lost Lives: Adult Faces of Argentina's Disappeared Children"

Argentine publicist Santiago Barros is using artificial intelligence to create images of what the children of parents who disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship might look like as adults. Barros uploads these images to an Instagram account called iabuelas, aiming to raise awareness and stir the conscience of those who may have doubts about their origin. The project does not replace DNA testing efforts by the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, who estimate around 500 children were taken from their parents during the dictatorship. While the AI-generated images have received mixed responses, some families have found striking resemblances to their missing relatives. The Grandmothers group appreciates the initiative but emphasizes that DNA testing remains the most reliable tool for identification.
