The REACH-AI’25 Workshop is held in conjunction with the 33rd IEEE Requirements Engineering Conference 

The goal of the First International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Accountable and Conscious Human-centered AI (REACH-AI’25) is to create a platform for an interdisciplinary discourse of researchers and practitioners on the potential impacts of AI on society, focusing on human values. REACH-AI’25 will focus on key topics, including identifying and addressing ethical issues during the requirements development phases, and ensuring that the developed AI system aligns with societal values, environmental considerations, legal norms, and regulations. This involves (a) providing transparency, fairness, and accountability of the solutions; (b) overcoming concerns related to biases in AI models, and explainability of AI decisions; (c) data privacy and security; (d) robust mechanisms for auditing and monitoring systems' post-deployment to address unintended consequences or evolving risks.

This workshop seeks to ignite a research-oriented conversation around these topics, with an emphasis on approaches for requirements elicitation, analysis, specification, and evolution for ensuring accountable and conscious human-centered AI. Specifically, the discussions will focus on establishing frameworks to align AI capabilities with (a) stakeholder values; (b) trade-offs between performance, explainability, and ethical constraints; (c) exploring the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in effectively managing and mitigating AI risks. Participants will gain actionable insights on embedding responsible AI principles into the lifecycle of AI systems, fostering innovation, user trust, and understanding critical competencies required for practice.
