CRAYON: Supporting the Elicitation of Pluralistic Normative Requirements for Autonomous Systems

Abstract

Normative requirements capture social, legal, ethical, empathetic, and cultural (SLEEC) expectations that autonomous systems must satisfy when operating in human-centered environments. While regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act provide high-level principles, transforming these principles into concrete, system-specific requirements remains a challenging and highly multidisciplinary task. Existing approaches primarily focus on analyzing or verifying requirements once they have been specified, providing limited support for the elicitation process itself.
