Your Gut Feeling About AI is Right. And You Are Not Alone.
You're not imagining it. What you sense happening with AI isn't science fiction—it's real. The people building these systems openly admit there's a substantial chance it could wipe out humanity or concentrate all power in a few hands. The largest-ever survey of AI researchers found an average extinction risk estimate of 15%. Top AI CEOs like Musk and Amodei, along with Nobel laureate Hinton, put it at 20%. And they predict this could unfold within just a few years.
You're not alone. Public concern has been skyrocketing: In 2023, 55% of citizens surveyed in 12 countries were fairly or very worried about "loss of control over AI".
By 2025, 78% of US Republican voters believed artificial intelligence could "eventually pose a threat to the existence of humanity".
By March 2025, Americans very or somewhat concerned about AI “causing the end of the human race” were 37% and increased to 43% by July 2025.
In October 2025, 63% of US citizens believe it's likely that "humans won't be able to control it anymore", and 53% believe it's somewhat or very likely that "AI will destroy humanity".
And yet, nothing serious is being done. This progression matches that of the months leading to the June 1946 presentation by President Truman of the Baruch Plan, the most ambitious treaty in history for the international control of nuclear weapons for nuclear weapons. Yet, most world leaders are either sticking their heads in the sand or actively accelerating the race. The US and China are locked in a winner-take-all arms race, with no binding agreement even on the table.
But there is a glimmer of hope. 77% of Americans support a strong international AI treaty. In 1946, a pragmatic US President was persuaded by his advisors to propose history's boldest treaty—the Baruch Plan (coincidentally on the date of birth of Donald Trump!)—to place all dangerous nuclear technology under international control. It nearly succeeded. We have a second chance with AI.
We're seizing that chance. Our Coalition for a Baruch Plan for AI is running what may be the highest-leverage initiative imaginable: privately persuading key influencers of Trump's AI policy to champion a bold, timely US-China-led global AI treaty—before the window closes. This is what we are doing with our The Deal of the Century initiative.
We've achieved remarkable results on minimal funding. With just $75K, we've built a 350-page Strategic Memo profiling every key Trump’s AI influencer, generated 85+ high-level contacts during a US tour in DC and the Bay Area, and created direct pathways to multiple targets. Now we need to scale 10x—or at minimum, maintain operations through 2026's critical political window.
Your donation directly powers this mission. We operate at ~$7,500/month—a fraction of typical DC policy organizations. Every dollar goes to persuasion, research, and travel. No fancy offices. No bloated staff. With a small donation, you could really have a chance to be part of the most
