AI and Blockchain: Towards Trustworthy and Secure Intelligent Systems 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 decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.

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.
