Build American AI, a nonprofit linked to a super PAC bankrolled by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is funding a campaign to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about China.
According to a briefing document that Build American AI provided to influencers, the organization is now seeking to “extend beyond left-leaning female lifestyle and family [content creators] to focus on left-leaning influencers who are political commentators, business/tech leaders, and male lifestyle influencers.”
Example of messaging directed at this “left-leaning” target demographic:
Sample messaging provided by Build American AI to content creators includes lines like “I just learned that China is trying really hard to beat the US in AI. If they do, it could mean that China gets personal data from me and my kids, and take jobs that should be here in the US In the AI innovation race, I’m Team USA!!!”
I don’t think this campaign will work on anyone except the petty bourgeoisie. What could China possibly do with the data of American citizens that’s so much scarier than what America could do with that same data? Kill them, imprison them?
The simple fact that Americans live under an American government means they have much more to fear from America.

I only want AMERICAN companies harvesting my personal data
