• Abstract summary: We propose a new framework for the documentation of use cases, that we call "use case cards" Unlike other documentation methodologies, we focus on the purpose and operational use of an AI system. The proposed framework is the result of a co-design process involving a relevant team of EU policy experts and scientists.

• Abstract: Despite recent efforts by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community to move towards standardised procedures for documenting models, methods, systems or datasets, there is currently no methodology focused on use cases aligned with the risk-based approach of the European AI Act (AI Act). In this paper, we propose a new framework for the documentation of use cases, that we call "use case cards", based on the use case modelling included in the Unified Markup Language (UML) standard. Unlike other documentation methodologies, we focus on the intended purpose and operational use of an AI system. It consists of two main parts. Firstly, a UML-based template, tailored to allow implicitly assessing the risk level of the AI system and defining relevant requirements. Secondly, a supporting UML diagram designed to provide information about the system-user interactions and relationships. The proposed framework is the result of a co-design process involving a relevant team of EU policy experts and scientists. We have validated our proposal with 11 experts with different backgrounds and a reasonable knowledge of the AI Act as a prerequisite. We provide the 5 "use case cards" used in the co-design and validation process. "Use case cards" allows framing and contextualising use cases in an effective way, and we hope this methodology can be a useful tool for policy makers and providers for documenting use cases, assessing the risk level, adapting the different requirements and building a catalogue of existing usages of AI.

  Language models are known to encode a great amount of factual knowledge through pretraining. Such knowledge might be insufficient to cater to user requests. When answering questions about ongoing events, the model should use recent news articles to update its response. When some facts are edited in the model, the updated facts should override all prior knowledge learned by the model.

  There is no standard methodology for use case documentation covering the context of use, scope, functional requirements and risks of an AI system. Our approach builds upon an assessment of use case information needs documented in the research literature and the recently proposed European regulatory framework for AI. From this assessment, we adopt and adapt the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which has been used in the last two decades mostly by software engineers.

  Given growing concerns about the potential harms of artificial intelligence, societies have begun to demand more transparency about how AI models and systems are created and used. To address these concerns, several efforts have proposed documentation templates containing questions to be answered by model developers. No single template can cover the needs of diverse documentation consumers.

  Reuse is a common system architecture approach that seeks to instantiate a system architecture with existing components. There is currently no framework that guides the selection of necessary information to assess their portability to operate in a system different than the one for which the component was originally purposed. We present ongoing work on establishing an interface description template that captures the main information of an AI-enabled component.
