This paper proposes decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) as a suitable paradigm for enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructures. It argues that MARL's inherent properties, such as scalability, local autonomy, and adaptive interaction, align well with the demands of complex, distributed systems. The research highlights key challenges in practical deployment, specifically credit assignment and communication, which are crucial for aligning local learning with system-level objectives and enabling effective coordination under operational constraints. The paper concludes by outlining a research agenda focused on addressing these challenges to facilitate the deployment of MARL for resilient critical infrastructures. AI
