D12 — Data Reliability, Ethics, and Assessment Limits
Need for Specialist Review
Description
Clinical, legal, forensic, AI safety, cybersecurity, or ethics consultation may be needed.
Rationale
No single evaluator has expertise across all the domains relevant to AIR-SPJ: clinical psychiatry, threat assessment, AI systems, cybersecurity, forensic practice, and ethics. Identifying when specialist consultation is needed — and documenting that recommendation — is an ethical and professional obligation, not an admission of inadequacy.
