Ai Project Imagines Adult Faces of Children Who Disappeared during Argentina'S Military ...

If a baby was taken from their parents four decades ago during Argentina's military dictatorship, what would that person look like today?Argentine publicist Santiago Barros has been trying to answer that question using artificial intelligence to create images of what the children of parents who disappeared during the dictatorship might look like as adults, the AP reports.

Almost every day, Barros uploads these images to an Instagram account called iabuelas, which is a portmanteau in Spanish for artificial intelligence, or IA, and grandmother, or abuelataken from the well-known activist group Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo that searches for missing children.

"We have seen the photos of most of the disappeared, but we don't have photos of their children, of those children who were stolen," Barros says.

"It struck me that these people did not have a face."

During the dictatorship, military officials carried out the systematic theft of babies from political dissidents who were detained or often executed and disposed of without a trace.

The babies were often raised by families linked to the dictatorship, or those ideologically aligned with it, as if they were their own.

Using an app called Midjourney, Barros combines photos of the disappeared fathers and mothers from the public archive of the Grandmothers
