The US State Department displayed a map of Africa during a presentation at the International AIDS Conference in Rio de Janeiro, where all the countries were incorrectly labeled. Nigeria was shown as a landlocked country in the Sahara, Mozambique was placed in the Horn of Africa, and Côte d'Ivoire was on the opposite side of the continent. The map was created using AI tools from OpenAI and was later acknowledged as an 'unfortunate error' by the State Department.
