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

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.

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.

Argentina brings back 'death flight' plane for historical accountability.

A plane used by Argentina's junta to throw political detainees to their deaths from the sky has been returned to Buenos Aires and will be added to the Museum of Memory, which is in what was the junta's most infamous secret detention center. The plane is the first ever proven in a court to have been used for the "death flights," one of the dictatorship's most cold-blooded atrocities. Human rights groups estimate 30,000 were slain, many of whom disappeared without a trace. The return of the plane will help Argentines understand the reality of the dictatorship.

The plane is the first ever proven in a court to have been used for the "death flights" and was used to kill Azucena Villaflor and 11 other detainees. The return of the plane was enabled by Italian photographer Giancarlo Ceraudo, who spent years seeking out "death flight" planes.

Trans women share harrowing accounts of abuse under Argentina dictatorship.

Transgender women in Argentina have testified about rape, torture, and sexual abuse they suffered during the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. The trans community was particularly targeted and suffered even after the return of democracy. However, Argentina has been making progress in recognizing the trans community's rights, including a landmark gender-identity law and a law reserving 1% of public sector jobs for trans individuals. The recent trial of former security officers on charges of crimes against humanity includes testimony from five transgender women who were held in a detention center. The sentences in the case are expected by the end of the year.
