AI Digest

AI Digest is a project of Sage Future, Inc. (sage-future.org), a US-registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Sage was founded in late 2022 by Adam Binksmith (formerly Adam Binks), who holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of St Andrews. AI Digest launched in October 2023 as Sage's flagship initiative for helping people viscerally understand the current state and trajectory of AI systems. The core team includes Director Adam Binksmith, and Members of Technical Staff Zak Miller and Shoshannah Tekofsky. The broader Sage organization also includes Simon Steshin on the Epistemics team. Founding advisors include Eli Lifland, Aaron Ho, and Misha Yagudin, with Daniel Kokotajlo serving as an advisor on the AI Village project. AI Digest's primary programs include: the AI Village, an ongoing livestreamed experiment in which four frontier AI agents (including models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google) are given a computer, a group chat, and open-ended real-world goals; Beyond Chat, a demo illustrating AI agent email and shopping capabilities; AI Can or Can't, a quiz on current AI abilities; and an Elections Demo exploring AI's potential for election interference. The site also publishes written explainers on AI forecasting, self-awareness, and capability progress. Funding for AI Digest / Sage Future has included a $550,000 grant from Open Philanthropy (Coefficient Giving) for AI explainers work, general support grants from the Survival and Flourishing Fund (including a $170,000 SFF-2025 grant and earlier speculation grants of $10,000 and $20,000), a $100,000 donation from Daniel Kokotajlo to support AI Village expansion, and contributions from individual donors. As of May 2025, the organization had runway through approximately February 2026 and was actively fundraising to cover 2025-2026 operations. Sage Future is a remote organization registered in the United States.
