Last month, Swiss Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter filed a criminal complaint over an offensive Grok post generated by an X user that requested that the chatbot "roast" the government official.
According to Bloomberg, Keller-Sutter's complaint seeks to hold the X user accountable for defamation and verbal abuse. She also "asked the prosecutor to assess whether X also bears responsibility" for failing to block Grok's misogynistic and "vulgar" outputs.
The finance ministry described the Grok output as "blatant denigration of a woman," Bloomberg reported, while emphasizing that "such misogyny must not be seen as normal or acceptable."
