DARPA DICE

DICE (Decentralized Artificial Intelligence through Controlled Emergence) is a DARPA research program funding development of theory, algorithms, and multi-agent systems for scalable, resilient decentralized AI collectives that remain under human control. Funding flows through Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) and contract-style awards rather than traditional grants, covering proposals in AI, control theory, and game theory. The program is actively soliciting research as part of the broader DARPA portfolio.^1,2
