The Ghost of AI Governance Past, Present, and Future presents the following source proposition: The chapter presents this by exploring the past, present, and future of AI governance in the EU. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that eBay's user rating system, despite being its biggest competitive advantage, is clearly flawed, and the persistence of those flaws demonstrates the unmet need for a decentralized reputation verification system, since no better technology has yet been produced. 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.
