During a presentation by top US health envoy Jeff Graham at the Aids 2026 conference in Rio de Janeiro, a US State Department map of Africa mislabeled every country on the continent. The map placed Nigeria in the Sahara, Mozambique in the Horn of Africa, and Côte d’Ivoire on the wrong side of the continent. A Reuters analysis revealed the map contained an artificial intelligence watermark signaling it was created with OpenAI tools. The State Department took full responsibility, blaming a team member who hastily altered the slide deck before the event.
