It depends what you mean by "necessary". There is a choice of different systems for (classical) predicate logic, but they all give the same results.

Universal introduction is certainly a valid principle in predicate logic, so the question is: Does universal introduction have to be one of the basic rules of the system?

The answer is no. It can be a derived principle. It is even possible to introduce "for all" as a derived symbol, and only have "there exists" in the basic system. The basic system would have a couple of rules controlling "there exists", and from these rules universal introduction would be a derived principle.

What is the inversion of A proposition?

The inversion of an A proposition, which is a universal affirmative statement (e.g., "All S are P"), involves negating the predicate while keeping the subject the same. This results in a statement that asserts that at least one member of the subject does not belong to the predicate, expressed as "Some S are not P." The inversion changes the original claim to highlight the existence of exceptions within the subject class.
