Conservative groups are urging a Manhattan federal court not to allow AI giants to ‘recklessly crawl the internet’ without compensating news outlets and other content providers — warning that it could create an information monopoly and even jeopardize national security, The Post has learned. The Center for American Rights, a right-leaning nonprofit law firm focused on tech and telecom policy, outlined its argument in an amicus brief submitted in the sweeping copyright infringement lawsuit that pits Sam Altman’s OpenAI against a coalition of news outlets. “If [superintelligence] is permitted to recklessly crawl the internet, even past paywalls, then we’ve effectively stripped these smaller companies of their competitive advantage and, worse, permanently solidified these SI companies as the ultimate distributors of our information,” the brief says.
