Decentralized Artificial Intelligence through Controlled Emergence (DICE)
Summary
The Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals for the Decentralized Artificial Intelligence through Controlled Emergence (DICE) program to develop theory and algorithms enabling decentralized coordination of heterogeneous AI agents for long‑duration missions in contested environments. The effort focuses on creating scalable, adaptive, and resilient collective AI behavior while maintaining human control, representing a core research initiative in advanced artificial intelligence.
