**Affirmed position.** Potential risks and regulatory countermeasures of the development of pass economy in the meta universe should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracts can automate compliance with regulatory requirements and ethical guidelines: for example, a smart contract can enforce privacy law directly by controlling an AI system's access to personal data according to predefined rules. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through smart contract governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- where compliance rules can be expressed as predefined, codified conditions
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
