What specific impacts did the AI-driven recreation of Welsh convict faces have on understanding 19th-century transportation to Australia?

Researchers used AI to recreate the faces of Welsh convicts transported to Australia in the 19th century, based on historical records, sketches, and descendants' photos. Sixty convicts from Anglesey were profiled, with crimes ranging from petty theft to more serious offenses. This initiative highlights the often-overlooked history of Welsh convicts in Australia.
