  @npr.org covered Innovating for the Public Good & Dewey Square Group’s research on what happens when voters turn to AI for election information.

  Don't they mean "super intelligence campuses"? Right after Tuesday's midterms, OpenAI will unleash a policy and PR blitz to try to get in sync with the new Washington, including an effort to rebrand data centers as "AI compute campuses." https://www. axios.com/2026/11/01/scoop-ope nai-post-midterm-policy
