Central Ohio residents, alongside voters across Ohio, Wisconsin, and Kansas, are receiving text messages aimed at building public support for artificial intelligence and data center development. The outreach is part of a multimillion-dollar campaign by an organization called Build American AI, which focuses on shifting public opinion around technology infrastructure rather than advocating for specific political candidates.

The text messages delivered to residents include phrases such as “Support AI innovation in Ohio” and “Behind every data center is a major catalyst for Ohio’s economy.” Links included in the messages direct recipients to the Build American AI website, which promotes policies supporting data center growth and highlights the economic impacts claimed by the organization.

Build American AI is connected to Leading the Future, a pro-AI super PAC. Filings with the Federal Election Commission show that OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife contributed $25 million to Leading the Future. The group’s campaign comes as OpenAI works on plans for a data center in Pike County, Ohio.

In a statement regarding the text effort, a spokesperson for Build American AI said the campaign intends to argue that data center development must offer direct benefits to host communities. The spokesperson stated that the goal is to create economic opportunity, support American workers, and ensure the future of artificial intelligence is built domestically by local communities.

Addressing how the campaign obtained personal phone numbers for the text blasts, Daniel Maldet, owner of CMIT Solutions in Columbus, Ohio, pointed to data purchasing practices. Maldet stated that campaign funds are being used to buy consumer information from organizations that intentionally gather and distribute personal data.
