Artificial intelligence has become a frequent talking point in US political campaign ads. Business Insider reviewed 130 political TV ads that mentioned AI or data centers, aired between January 2025 and late 2025.

Republicans, Democrats, and Independents are all using anti-AI messaging, posing a challenge for AI companies seeking political support for data centers and infrastructure projects.
