Santiago Barros, an Argentine publicist, is using artificial intelligence (AI) 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, which aims to raise awareness about the stolen children. The project does not replace DNA testing efforts by the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, who estimate that around 500 children were taken during the dictatorship. While some question the accuracy of the AI-generated images, others have found striking resemblances to their blood relatives. The Grandmothers group warns that DNA testing remains the only infallible tool for identifying these individuals.
