Speaking to Swiss public broadcaster SRF, Keller-Sutter said the case is of“of criminal relevance” and emphasised the importance of defending“values and convictions”.

A week ago it emerged that the Bernese public prosecutor's office opened an investigation following a complaint by the government minister that a user had instigated the artificial intelligence bot Grok to direct sexist insults at her on the X social media platform.

“If the so-called mainstream means to be disrespectful, to have no more decency, then I take note of that,” Keller-Sutter said.“But I fight for the opposite.”

The Bernese prosecutor's office is not the only authority currently conducting official investigations against Grok, Elon Musk's Platform X and his company xAI. The European Commission has also initiated proceedings against the X Group.
