Argentine publicist Santiago Barros has been using artificial intelligence to create images of what the children of parents who disappeared during the bloody dictatorship from 1976 to 1983 might look like as adults.
"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 told The Associated Press. "It struck me that these people did not have a face."
The project does not intend to replace efforts headed by the Grandmothers group of identifying grandchildren through DNA testing. Instead, Barros says, the goal is to stir the conscience of those over 46 who may have doubts about their origin and to serve as a reminder of the more than four decades the grandmothers have spent trying to locate these children.
In addition to working with photos from the Grandmothers' archives, Barros uses photographic material provided by interested parties. "A lot of people see the masculine image as similar to me. But what generated something very, very strong for me was the feminine one. I found a very striking resemblance to a cousin of mine," Ayastuy said.
Pedro Sandoval, a grandson who was identified in 2006, embraced Barros' initiative at first, but later decided it was imperfect because it seems to rely too much on "standardized patterns" of people with European features. His mother, Liliana Fontana, and his father, Pedro Sandoval, are among the 30,000 missing persons counted by humanitarian organizations.
