Coalition for a
Baruch Plan for AI
Like it or not, given the acceleration of AI capabilities and risks, the future of humanity rests, overwhelmingly, on whether Trump will be persuaded to co-lead a bold global AI treaty with President Xi.
We’ve built a 350-page strategic resource and opened 85+ direct pathways to reach key influencers of Trump's AI policy to do just that — realizing a vision Truman proposed one hour after Trump's birth in 1946.

What is the Baruch Plan?
Presented to the United Nations by President Truman on June 14th 1946 - barely one hour after the birth of Donald Trump - the Baruch Plan sought to bring all dangerous nuclear weapons research, arsenals, facilities, and supply chains under exclusive, democratic, veto-free international control.
Catalyzed by shocking scientists predictions, fast raising public concern, low ratings of a pragmatic US president, and the active persuasion of a few key advisors — the parallels with our predicament with AI today are astounding.
Trump has a chance to succeed where Truman failed, and build an unparalleled legacy, by advancing a Baruch Plan for AI: The Deal of the Century.
Testimonials
“AI has massive potential for societies and economies. Yet amid all the hype we must move forward carefully and deliberately to ensure we reap the benefits while managing the risks. The Coalition will play an important role in this process.”
- Jennifer Blanke, former Chief Economist of the World Economic Forum
“I strongly believe in the mission and goal of this Coalition, and believe in the urgency to establish broadly adopted norms to restrain research and development which could realize AGI/AI operating against human values and interests, potentially leading to significant human existential threats. Given this imperative, it is very much my desire to contribute my time and experiences/expertise towards the advancement of these efforts.”
- Mark Barwinski, former Global Head of Cyber Operations at UBS and former official at TAO Unit of the US National Security Agency.
“Having worked in biological and chemical weapons control, the best time for conversations about AI governance was a decade ago. The next best time is now. We urgently need international meaningful engagement that is not funded nor driven by tech companies to ensure that we create a fair, sustainable and equitable future.”
- Kobi Leins. Fellow of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, and advisory board member of the Carnegie Artificial Intelligence and Equality Initiative (AIEI).

The Idea of a Baruch Plan for AI
Some of the most influential AI experts and leaders have called for the Baruch Plan as a model for AI governance, including Yoshua Bengio, the most cited AI scientist, Ian Hogarth, (UK AI Safety Institute), Jack Clark, (Anthropic), Jaan Tallinn, (Future of Life Institute).
