News of the probe comes just days before a major AI summit in Paris, which is due to host global leaders including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as Alphabet and Microsoft executives.
The reported investigation underlines growing global wariness over the power of X, the name given to Twitter by tech billionaire Musk after he bought the social media network.
The French investigation was opened after centrist lawmaker Eric Bothorel, posting on X, said he had written to the J3 cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutors' office with his concerns that X was using biased algorithms, Franceinfo said.
“I sent a letter to the cyber J3 prosecutor's office on this subject on January 12,“ Bothorel wrote on X.
