**Affirmed position.** Blockchain-Enabled Trust and Compliance for Clinical AI: Decentralized Governance Without Decentralized Data Storage presents the following source proposition: Clinical AI systems rely on evolving machine learning pipelines and large-scale medical imaging data, creating persistent challenges in trust, auditability, consent governance, and reproducibility. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Managing machine learning assets and complying with laws such as GDPR and CCPA becomes significantly harder under decentralized governance, because distributed data and operations complicate tracking data flows, enforcing privacy controls, and demonstrating compliance during audits. 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.
