J. David AkeThe Trump administration’s State Department is catching heat after an AI-generated map used during an international AIDS conference managed to do something geography teachers everywhere thought was impossible: lose Africa. During a presentation at the International AIDS Conference in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, a State Department slide intended to highlight U.S.-funded HIV programs displayed a wildly inaccurate map of Africa. Uganda was roughly where it belongs but had a bizarre shape, while Cameroon appeared in the map legend without actually being labeled on the map. The State Department blamed the blunder on a last-minute edit. Former State Department official Cameron Hudson called the mistake “stupid and embarrassing,” arguing it reflected poor supervision rather than simply bad technology.
