A map displayed by the U.S. government during the AIDS 2026 Conference in Rio de Janeiro has sparked controversy after reports claimed that every African country was incorrectly labelled or misplaced.

The slide also reportedly carried an OpenAI watermark, raising questions about whether AI-generated content was used without proper verification.
