D10 — Targeted Violence Pathway
AI-Assisted Leakage
Description
AI helps produce posts, messages, scripts, manifestos, emails, letters, or statements that leak intent.
Rationale
Leakage — communication of violent intent before an attack — is one of the most reliable behavioral indicators in threat assessment research. AI-assisted leakage may be more polished, more targeted, and more strategically timed than unassisted leakage, which can make it harder to identify as warning behavior. Understanding AI's role in leakage production is operationally relevant.
