Blockchain-based Control Over Data to Train AI Models presents the following source proposition: We survey platforms such as Ocean Protocol, federated learning with blockchain architectures, and decentralized compute networks. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Law schools that invest early in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain will gain a comparative advantage over peer schools irrespective of ranking, because demand for lawyers trained in those technologies is likely to spike once law firm adoption crosses a threshold. 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.

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