**Affirmed position.** Editorial: Emerging frontiers in corporate governance, sustainability, and technological transformation should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The opacity of black box AI systems can undermine procedural fairness as a legal matter, because parties hold a right to understand the basis of the judicial decisions that affect them. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain 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.**

- AI outputs that inform or shape judicial decisions
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
