Build American AI plans to run advertisements supporting data centers in Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin, according to reporting cited by TechCrunch. The group says it is affiliated with Leading the Future, a super PAC funded by Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz and OpenAI President Greg Brockman. It told Bloomberg that its advertising budget will be in the millions of dollars as data-center concerns feature in statewide elections.
