About Us

The Coalition for a Baruch Plan for AI is a nonpartisan and political non-profit advocacy organization based in Rome, Italy. It was convened by the Trustless Computing Association, led by Rufo Guerreschi, in July 2024, together with six leading AI governance NGOs.

The Coalition was launched on December 18th, 2024, with an Open Call for "all heads of state, President-Elect Trump and President Xi, and their advisors and security agencies, to engage in an open global treaty-making process for safe and fair AI of radically unprecedented scope, urgency and effectiveness". 

Such an Open Call was accompanied by a 90-page Case for a Coalition for a Baruch Plan for AI (v.1) with 22 contributors and an introductory video. Most of it is derived from the Trustless Computing Association's April 2024 Open Call for the Harnessing AI Risk Initiative and its Harnessing AI Risk Proposal v.4.

After receiving $60,000 in seed funding from Jaan Tallinn's Survival and Flourishing Fund in February 2025, we set out to update our strategy to the rapidly shifting and accelerating AI predicament. We set out to work on The Deal of the Century to convince key Trump's AI policy advisors to champion a bold US-led AI treaty.

The Coalition consists of and is backed by exceptional 10 NGOs and expert professionals, activists and leaders, including current and former top leaders of the United Nations, US National Security Agency, UBS, World Economic Forum, Yale and Princeton University, and over a hundred supporters and backers.
