People direct the work, AI helps draft it
A person who works in Arizona's data center industry chooses each topic, sets the angle, and decides what the article argues. An AI model helps turn that direction and the underlying research into a first draft. From there a person edits, checks, and signs off. The topics, the framing, and every factual call are human. AI is a drafting tool, not the author of record, and it never has the last word on whether a claim is true.
Every claim is tied to a primary source or it gets cut
We work from primary sources wherever we can: utility filings, Arizona Corporation Commission dockets, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, county assessors, federal agencies, university studies, and named industry reports. Key claims carry an inline link to the source, and every article ends with a full source list so you can check our work.
If a claim cannot be tied to a real source, one of three things happens to it: we cut it, we soften it to what the evidence actually supports, or we flag it for a follow-up check before it stands. When a number comes from an industry-funded study, we say so, because you deserve to weigh the source along with the figure.
We name our point of view
The Arizona Data Center Alliance is an industry group. We are not a neutral newsroom, and we do not pretend to be. We tell you that on purpose, because the value of these articles is not that they come from nowhere. It is that the facts in them are sourced and you can verify every one. Read us with that context, follow the links, and hold us to the evidence.
Spotted an error?
We would rather hear it from you than leave it standing. If you find a claim you think is wrong, missing context, or out of date, email us with the article and the specific claim and we will review it. If we got it wrong, we fix it.
