Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) program is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The AIQ program seeks to develop technology to assess and understand the capabilities of AI to enable guaranteed performance. Researchers will develop mathematical foundations, combined with advances in measurement and modeling, to quantify an AI system's capabilities, when they will or will not manifest, and why.

U.S. DOD DARPA - Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) - EPFL U.S. DOD DARPA - Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the technical areas of assessing and understanding the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to enable mathematical guarantees on performance of generative AI.
Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Artificial Intelligence Quantified (AIQ) will develop technology to assess and understand the capabilities of AI to enable guaranteed performance.
The program will test the hypothesis that mathematical methods, combined with advances in measurement and modelling, will allow guaranteed quantification of AI capabilities. Specifically, the program will address three interrelated capability levels: classes of problem level, and natural class level, aiming to address the quantification and assessment challenges at each level.
Two technical areas (TA) of Interest: The goal of TA1 is to provide rigorous foundations for understanding and guaranteeing capabilities across levels; teams proposing for TA1 are expected to be led by individuals with deep technical expertise, such as pure or applied mathematics, theoretical computer science, or statistics, or other relevant expertise and demonstrate relevance to AI.
The goal of TA2 is to develop methods for evaluating AI models, integrating and evaluating TA1 results at scale using appropriate research datasets; teams proposing for TA2 are expected to comprise computational, cognitive, and/or behavioral scientists with expertise in AI evaluation. A single proposal may address only one of the TA; no combined proposals for TA1 or TA2 will be accepted.
Projects are expected to have a duration of 36 months, divided into two phases of 18 months each. The Funding Opportunity announcement does not mention a specific maximum budget, the cost realism is one of the evaluation criteria. Proposers Day: June 14, 2024 [REQUIRED] Proposal Abstract: June 25, 2024 at 12:00 PM.
Full proposal: August 13, 2024 at 12:00 PM Eligibility / Restrictions: EPFL researchers are encouraged to participate. For this call, the U.S. government expects fundamental research, encouraging opensource regimes as well as a collaborative and transparent environment. The ReO is available to verify that both the conditions of the funder and interests of EPFL are respected.
Proposers are required to submit a two-page abstract. Proposers will receive a written response to their abstract either encouraging or discouraging a full proposal submission. This written response will include a rationale for the decision.
Proposers may only submit a full proposal if their abstract received an encourage response. Funder Website: https://www. darpa.

DPA26BZ05-DV019 asks small businesses to reduce ISR video transmission from small drones by 90 to 99 percent while preserving what an operator actually needs, on a Jetson-class board at a 2-watt final power budget. It is Direct-to-Phase-II, up to $1.5 million base plus a $500,000 option, and its exclusion list — no weapon release, no lethal engagement, no named-person identification — is the most strategically revealing paragraph in DARPA's FY26 Release 5.
Read articleDPA26BZ05-DV018 is the largest award in DARPA's FY26 SBIR Release 5 — up to $3 million over 18 months, Direct-to-Phase-II only. It funds four subsystem tracks for an underwater 3D concrete printer that uses seafloor sediment and seawater with under 20 percent binder. Here is what the Trenton program already proved, why the track structure is really a supplier-qualification exercise, and who can clear the prior-feasibility bar in the four weeks that remain.
Read articleTwo weeks after the DARPA Lift Challenge ended with the winner at 3.84:1 — short of the 4:1 target — DARPA posted a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR that requires empirical proof of a 4:1 payload-to-weight ratio to bid. DPA26BZ05-DV022 offers up to $1.5 million over 24 months across two tracks that map exactly onto the Challenge's two design prizes. Here is who can actually clear the entry bar, what the month-9, month-18, and month-24 gates demand, and why the certification language is the real story.
