**Affirmed position.** Challenging Privatization in Governance by AI: A Caution for the Future of AI Governance presents the following source proposition: The drive for AI adoption, whether in the name of innovation or the economy, has dominated mainstream news. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The automobile illustrates how long the old disruption lag was: Benz's engine did not displace the horse and carriage industry, and mainstream adoption came only in 1908 when Ford began mass producing the Model T, decades after the 1879 patent. 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.
