We Just Published Our 354-Page Strategic Memo for "The Deal of the Century"
Today, after 11 months of intensive research and contributions from over 20 extraordinary advisors—including former leaders from the UN, NSA, World Economic Forum, UBS, Princeton, and Yale—the Coalition for a Baruch Plan for AI is releasing Version 2.5 of our Strategic Memo for The Deal of the Century.
This is not a document written for general audiences. It's written for a specific set of individuals: the key potential influencers of Trump's AI policy—and those who can reach them.
The Core Thesis
As in 1946, when a handful of people recognized that nuclear technology demanded unprecedented global coordination, we are again at a moment when a small coalition of the right voices could be decisive. The AI race has entered a terminal phase. Labs are no longer building tools—they're racing toward systems that may recursively improve themselves. The executives running these labs privately acknowledge what their public statements obscure: we may be months to years, not decades, from AI that could prove impossible to control.
Yet a narrow political window has opened. Trump has accepted Xi's invitation to Beijing in April 2026. He needs a legacy-defining achievement. And a small coalition of key influencers—figures like JD Vance, Sam Altman, Steve Bannon, Pope Leo XIV, Dario Amodei, and others—could do for Trump what Oppenheimer and Acheson did for Truman: translate abstract risk into concrete, politically viable action.
What's in the Memo
Across 354 pages, we provide:
A Two-Pager Brief for those who need the essence
A 15-page Executive Summary laying out the strategic logic
An 8-page Strategic Brief mapping the path from persuasion to convergence to treaty-making
Deep profiles of 15+ key influencers—their philosophies, psychologies, strategic relationships, and the arguments that can move them
Draft initial treaty-making frameworks, including a proposed Trump Executive Order and a draft Trump-Xi Joint Statement
A roadmap for convergence of humanist and techno-optimist camps into an alliance with sufficient critical mass
This document incorporates everything we learned during our October 2025 Persuasion Tour to Washington DC and the Bay Area, and sets the stage for our Q1-Q2 2026 engagements across DC, the Bay Area, Mar-a-Lago, Vatican/Rome, New Delhi, and Singapore.
A Call to Action
If you are a potential influencer of Trump's AI policy: Read the Open Letter addressed to you in the Annex. We've analyzed your public positions, anticipated your objections, and made a case calibrated to your worldview.
If you have trusted access to these influencers: Your role may prove decisive. A personal endorsement from a trusted source dramatically increases the likelihood of serious engagement.
If you're a potential donor: This initiative operates on extreme capital efficiency—approximately $7,500/month—while pursuing what may be the highest-leverage intervention available in AI governance. Additional funding of $50,000-$150,000 would extend our runway through the critical political windows of 2026.
We are not building an institution. We are executing a targeted influence campaign during a fleeting historical window.
