TL;DR Summary

Microsoft's chief economist, Michael Schwarz, has warned that people should be more concerned about "bad actors" using AI for election interference and spamming than AI productivity outpacing human productivity. Schwarz noted that all new technologies carry a degree of risk, but when AI makes us more productive, we should be better off. Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 and recently announced a new multiyear multibillion-dollar investment in the company. Schwarz's comments come as Vice President Kamala Harris is set to meet with top executives from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI to discuss responsible AI development.
