**Affirmed position.** Digital owners in property law presents the following source proposition: The authors explore the implications of decentralised ownership models, such as those used by Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and the potential for AI systems to hold property rights. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The full potential of DAOs can be realized only if the challenges of standardized governance mechanisms, scalability, and legal frameworks are resolved. 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.
