D07 — Tactical Operationalization and AI-Enabled Planning

D07-E05

Self-Harm Method Research

Description

AI is used to research, compare, refine, or rehearse self-harm methods.

Rationale

AI-assisted research into self-harm methods reflects active planning rather than passive ideation. The specificity of the research — method type, lethality, detectability, timing — can be used to assess the degree of planning and should be interpreted against the broader clinical picture. This element is inherently time-sensitive.
