“…Es cierto que no es esta exactamente la pregunta que nos ocupa en este trabajo, en el que damos por supuesto que la excavación y la recuperación de los restos ya ha tenido lugar, pero el punto general que esta pregunta plantea es si hay exigencias éticas independientes de los derechos de las familias y de los intereses públicos en la verdad y la justicia que resulten de la condición moral del cuerpo muerto, y que puedan incidir en las decisiones relativas al trato debido a los restos óseos que no han sido objeto aún de identificación positiva 16 . Sin perjuicio de las controversias filosóficas en torno al fundamento de esas exigencias morales -que debaten, por ejemplo, sobre su articulación como «derechos humanos de los muertos» (Moon, 2014(Moon, , 2020 o bajo la ética de los cuidados (Rosenblatt, 2015, pp. 167 y ss.…”

El desafío de la búsqueda de las personas víctimas de desaparición forzada comprende usualmente el de la recuperación de la identidad de los restos que logran ser hallados. Este trabajo releva la dimensión jurídica de la identificación y su calidad de decisión acerca de la prueba de un hecho, que puede ser analizada con las herramientas conceptuales de la teoría de la prueba jurídica. Sobre esa base, se aborda la pregunta sobre el estándar de prueba aplicable y se ofrece un análisis basado en la experiencia chilena reciente, en la que se ha tendido a consolidar la prueba positiva de ADN como una suerte de golden standard, exclusivo y excluyente, para la identificación. A menudo, sin embargo, ese resultado no se puede alcanzar por deterioro del ADN en las muestras de restos obtenidos, por la escasez de las muestras dada la práctica de exhumaciones clandestinas o por falta de muestras de parientes para comparación. El trabajo explora las preguntas que se abren entonces, tanto respecto de la posibilidad de que otra clase de pruebas forenses sean aceptables y suficientes como sobre el trato que se debe dar a los restos cuya identificación no resulta actualmente posible.

“…Both disciplines examine the remains of deceased humans, and every action, use for, and result from that examination affects the beneficiaries and stakeholders associated with those human remains [ 139 ]. While not commonly considered, there has been a recent push to acknowledge that the dead retain their humanity and thus should be granted rights [ 113 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 ]. Additionally, human subjects have next-of-kin, be they direct living relatives, or more distantly related descendant-communities.…”

This paper explores the current state of forensic anthropology in the United States as a distinct discipline. Forensic anthropology has become increasingly specialized and the need for strengthened professionalization is becoming paramount. This includes a need for clearly defined qualifications, training, standards of practice, certification processes, and ethical guidelines. Within this discussion, the concept of expertise is explored in relation to professionalization and practice, as both bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology have different areas of specialist knowledge, and therefore unique expertise. As working outside one’s area of expertise is an ethical violation, it is important for professional organizations to outline requisite qualifications, develop standards and best practice guidelines, and enforce robust preventive ethical codes in order to serve both their professional members and relevant stakeholders.

“…As such, the memorialization of collective suffering addresses many ethical and moral obligations that may be specific to a particular culture and society and reflect ideas drawn from transnational human rights and transitional justice. These obligations range from respecting and tending to the dead [66,68] and honoring those who fought against or resisted the perpetrators [31,42] 1 to countering the distortion of historical facts and preventing the repetition of atrocities [17]. The construction of social memory of atrocities via memorialization is thus integral to the moral reconstitution and social repair of societies in the aftermath of atrocities [18,99].…”

Shall androids dream of genocides? How generative AI can change the future of memorialization of mass atrocities

The memorialization of mass atrocities such as war crimes and genocides facilitates the remembrance of past suffering, honors those who resisted the perpetrators, and helps prevent the distortion of historical facts. Digital technologies have transformed memorialization practices by enabling less top-down and more creative approaches to remember mass atrocities. At the same time, they may also facilitate the spread of denialism and distortion, attempt to justify past crimes and attack the dignity of victims. The emergence of generative forms of artificial intelligence (AI), which produce textual and visual content, has the potential to revolutionize the field of memorialization even further. AI can identify patterns in training data to create new narratives for representing and interpreting mass atrocities—and do so in a fraction of the time it takes for humans. The use of generative AI in this context raises numerous questions: For example, can the paucity of training data on mass atrocities distort how AI interprets some atrocity-related inquiries? How important is the ability to differentiate between human- and AI-made content concerning mass atrocities? Can AI-made content be used to promote false information concerning atrocities? This article addresses these and other questions by examining the opportunities and risks associated with using generative AIs for memorializing mass atrocities. It also discusses recommendations for AIs integration in memorialization practices to steer the use of these technologies toward a more ethical and sustainable direction.
