OpenAI uncovered a China-linked campaign that tried to turn Americans against AI data centers by posing as regular people online.
The posts focused on rising electricity demand, water use, and the impact of large data centers on local communities.
OpenAI investigator Ben Nimmo said the campaign was “jumping onto the bandwagon of a genuine pre-existing domestic debate” rather than creating a new issue.
According to OpenAI, the operation tried to “exploit and amplify existing public concerns” but showed little sign of impact. Nimmo said, “We didn’t see any signs that they succeeded.”
