Tagline: Building the political will, among the people who shape Trump's AI policy, for a US-China-led global AI treaty.
What we do
Nearly all AI-safety funding goes to alignment, interpretability and compute governance. None of it matters unless the US and China agree to co-lead a bold, binding treaty before superintelligence arrives. Xi has called for global AI governance since 2023. Trump is the bottleneck. We work the dozen people who can move him: the case, the people and the plan are at cbpai.org/the-deal-of-the-century, and our private Washington Consultations on what such a treaty would look like at cbpai.org/consultations.
What the money bought so far
$70K total — SFF ($60K, Feb 2025) and Ryan Kidd via this page ($10K, Oct 2025) — plus some 2,000 hours of pro-bono work produced a 356-page Strategic Memo (v2.6 Dec 2025; v2.9 Aug 2026; v3.0 in draft), an October 2025 US tour with 85+ contacts including 23 lab officials at OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepMind, and the DC Roundtables that became the Consultations. We now have working channels to four of the twelve power brokers we identified. Details: cbpai.org/achievements.
What we're raising here
A $30K bridge for the next 90 days. In parallel, an 18-month round of about $800K is being pitched to institutional funders (cbpai.org/roadmap). Burn is ~$7,500 a month: one full-time Executive Director, a fractional COO, no office.
