Last year, DARPA launched the ‘Theory of Mind’ initiative, focusing on improving national security decision-making. The program aims to develop technologies that help decision-makers better understand and engage with potential adversaries, improving strategies for deterrence and incentive-based actions.
According to DARPA, the program will combine advanced algorithms with human expertise to support these efforts. This integration will occur within a modeling and simulation environment to explore national security scenarios, giving decision-makers more options and improving their ability to assess potential actions.
