Canva apologizes after its AI tool replaces ‘Palestine’ in designs

Canva has apologized after its new AI feature, Magic Layers, was found to automatically replace the word 'Palestine' in user designs with other phrases, such as 'Ukraine'. The issue was reportedly specific to the word 'Palestine', as related terms like 'Gaza' were unaffected. A spokesperson for Canva stated that the company has resolved the issue and is implementing additional checks to prevent recurrence, expressing regret for any distress caused. The bug was replicated by other users before being fixed, highlighting a significant misstep for Canva as it competes with AI design tools from companies like Adobe.
