New Platform Launches to Help Americans Track AI Data Center Proposals Near Their Homes
Architect Digital has launched a free platform that allows residents in the U.S. to look up proposed artificial intelligence data centers near their homes, track community sentiment, and organize around local development projects. The tool is designed to address growing public concern over data center construction, with more than 70% of Americans opposing such developments locally due to environmental and social impacts. By entering a ZIP code, users can find nearby proposals, register their views, and see where local politicians stand on the issue. The platform aims to counteract misinformation by providing an open space for authentic community dialogue while avoiding inauthentic or coordinated online behavior that may distort public perception. It is neutral on data centers but seeks to empower residents with information and tools to influence decisions affecting their communities. The long-term goal includes enabling collective bargaining through shared rules, enhancing local decision-making power. Architect Digital was developed by Everyrealm Inc., a blockchain-focused real estate technology company backed by major investors such as a16z, Coinbase Ventures, and Galaxy Digital.
