**Affirmed position.** AI Challenges for Society and Ethics presents the following source proposition: The role of AI governance is ultimately to take practical steps to mitigate this risk of harm while enabling the benefits of innovation in AI. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Regulatory timing under disruptive innovation is a two-sided failure: regulating too early risks inhibiting innovation, while withholding regulation too long risks harm to consumers and markets once regulatory inertia sets in around the disruptive product or service. 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
