**Affirmed position.** Invisible Borrowers, Unpriced Risk: The Upstream AI Governance Gap under Article 26 of the EU AI Act presents the following source proposition: A systemic risk has entered the financial sector's AI infrastructure that no existing supervisory instrument is designed to detect. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The German voluntary reorganization procedure has a structural gap: groups of financial institutions, financial holding groups and conglomerates cannot petition for protection under it, even though these are precisely the entities that qualify as systemically important and pose the highest risk to market stability on failure. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
