European regulators have opened a new antitrust case targeting Google, owned by Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), amid concerns that the company’s artificial intelligence practices may be undermining fair competition.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the European Commission said it is investigating whether Google has been imposing “unfair conditions” on publishers and digital creators, potentially restricting their commercial freedom.

The probe will also examine accusations that Google may be granting its own services preferential access to online content—an action that could give its AI models and tools a competitive edge over rival offerings.
