A nonprofit is using AI agents to raise money for charity


A nonprofit organization, Sage, is running an experiment to see whether AI 'agents' can raise money for a charity of their choice.

Sage Future, a 501(c)(3) backed by Open Philanthropy, launched an experiment earlier this month tasking four AI models in a virtual environment with raising money for charity. Still, Sage director Adam Binksmith thinks the experiment serves as a useful illustration of agents’ current capabilities and the rate at which they’re improving. “As agents become more capable and faster, we’ll match that with larger automated monitoring and oversight systems for safety purposes.”
