Engineering Requirements for Generative AI Agents: The BARD Process Theory

A new arXiv paper examines how teams engineer requirements for systems built around Generative AI agents, a topic the authors describe as empirically uncharted. According to the snippet, existing Requirements Engineering research mainly covers AI and machine learning systems in general and offers no process account for agentic systems. The authors argue that agentic systems have non-deterministic behavior that cannot be fully anticipated at design time. To study how teams actually work, the researchers applied Socio-Technical Grounded Theory, and the snippet is cut off before naming the findings.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

How teams engineer requirements for systems built around Generative AI (GenAI) Agents remains empirically uncharted. Existing Requirements Engineering (RE) research mainly addresses AI and ML-based systems broadly but provides no process account for agentic systems, whose non-deterministic behavior cannot be...

Teams building agent-based products may find that standard requirements methods do not fully fit systems whose behavior cannot be fully specified in advance. Engineers, product managers, and businesses deploying AI agents could use a documented process account to guide how they define and test requirements. Readers should watch for the full paper's details on the BARD process and whether its findings are validated in later studies.
