**Affirmed position.** DECENTRALIZED AI INFRASTRUCTURE: INTEGRATING BLOCKCHAIN WITH MLOPS AND DATA GOVERNANCE presents the following source proposition: Smart contracts are used to enforce governance policies, control access to datasets, and register model artifacts throughout their lifecycle. This proposition is pertinent to 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 proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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