ARIA's Scaling Trust programme is a £50 million (~$63 million) initiative to create the capability for AI agents to securely coordinate, negotiate, and verify with one another on behalf of humans. The programme's Phase 1 seeks to fund teams developing open-source coordination infrastructure and performing fundamental research that advances from empirical to theory-driven guarantees in agentic coordination.
The Opportunity Space is titled 'Trust Everything, Everywhere' and is led by Programme Director Alex Obadia. ARIA does not run rolling grant competitions; instead, Programme Directors define bold scientific missions and build tailored cohorts of researchers and innovators to deliver them.
This programme addresses the critical challenge of enabling trustworthy multi-agent AI systems that can autonomously coordinate while maintaining security and verifiability guarantees. Research areas include cryptographic protocols for agent verification, game-theoretic coordination mechanisms, formal methods for trust guarantees, and open-source infrastructure for agent-to-agent communication.
