Big Tech Launches Pro-Data Center Campaign

The political action committee Leading the Future has launched a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, Build American AI, to promote the construction of AI data centers. Backed by investors including Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, and OpenAI president Greg Brockman, the initiative initially raised $100 million. The campaign targets battleground states, including Kansas, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

A recent Annenberg Public Policy Center study indicates that 61% of US adults oppose new data center construction near their communities.
