Traditional systems require precise, fixed functional and non-functional specifications. AI system requirements focus on performance metrics (accuracy, precision), training data specifications, and acceptable error bounds. They must also address non-deterministic behavior, model interpretability, continuous learning needs, and ethical constraints (fairness, bias). Unlike traditional software, AI requirements often evolve with model performance and necessitate defined processes for data management, model retraining, and versioning.
