The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is leading to an increasing number of creative works being generated wholly or partly by AI. These creations are often published without it being disclosed that they were created using AI. This lack of transparency is misleading for consumers and undermines the work of human creators.

In this context, ensuring a level playing field on digital platforms is crucial. On 25 March 2024, the Commission announced a preliminary investigation under the Digital Markets Act[1] into potential self-preferencing by Amazon on its marketplace.

• 1.Can the Commission provide an update on the status of the preliminary investigation?
• 2.Are any interim findings available, or is there a projected date by which more information will be made public?
