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. Nigeria appeared landlocked, Ivory Coast was relocated to southern Africa, and several countries looked so distorted they were barely recognizable, BBC reports. 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.
