Faces of Welsh convicts sent to Australia recreated by AI

Researchers use AI to recreate the faces of Welsh convicts sent to Australia in the 19th Century. Convicts deported from Anglesey for crimes like stealing a handkerchief have been traced using prisoner records, historical sketches, and modern-day descendants' photos. The project sheds light on the harsh sentences for petty crimes that led to deportation and highlights the historical connections between Wales and Australia.
