RETRAI Workshop

Requirement Engineering for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence

Welcome to RETRAI 2025

AI-based systems are increasingly integrated into societal infrastructures, performing daily tasks alongside humans and influencing critical decision-making processes. However, unlike human actions, which are governed by comprehensive legislation and enforcement procedures, AI systems are often built and deployed without clearly specifying the requirements necessary to ensure their responsible, and trustworthy operation. Clearly specifying requirements is important to ensuring that AI systems can be safely and responsibly integrated into society. Without well-defined requirements, it becomes difficult to assess whether such systems meet expectations for accountability, fairness, and ethical behavior. The complexity of this task is compounded by the need for multidisciplinary expertise, encompassing legal, ethical, and domain-specific knowledge. Requirement Engineering for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence proposed (RETRAI) workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from these diverse fields to collaboratively establish a foundation for requirements engineering techniques specifically tailored for trustworthy AI-based systems. By fostering collaboration among multidisciplinary experts, this workshop will provide a platform to collect, refine, and share requirements that can be reused, extended, or adapted for future systems.

Call for Papers

RETRAI 2025 is the first Requirements Engineering (RE) workshop that specifically addresses the specification, debugging, and compliance of requirements for trustworthy AI-based systems. As the interaction between these systems and humans continues to grow, the importance of embedding trustworthiness considerations into the design and development process becomes increasingly important. The workshop aims to discuss the challenges associated with developing trustworthy AI systems and highlights the necessity of engaging the requirements engineering community in tackling these issues.
