CANVA ADMITS ITS AI TOOL REMOVED ‘PALESTINE' FROM DESIGNS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Canva's AI "Magic Layers" feature was found to silently replace the word "Palestine" with "Ukraine" in user designs, a bug the company confirmed and patched. Canva called it an isolated issue and apologized for any distress caused, while launching an audit into how it occurred. The incident joins a broader pattern of AI tools exhibiting bias toward Palestine. Similar issues were previously documented in Meta's WhatsApp and OpenAI's ChatGPT.
