Decentralized Governance-Driven Architecture for Designing Foundation-Model-Based Systems: Exploring the Role of Blockchain in Responsible AI presents the following source proposition: We identify eight governance challenges of foundation-model-based AI systems regarding the three fundamental dimensions of governance: decision rights, incentives, and accountability. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In a decentralized autonomous organization a series of smart contracts grants token holders voting rights, so the blockchain-based smart contract performs the function that articles of incorporation or bylaws perform in a conventional company. 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.
