Precautionary Governance of Autonomous AI: Legal Personhood as Functional Instrument presents the following source proposition: Given irreducible epistemic uncertainty regarding artificial consciousness and the prospect of high-impact harms, the precautionary principle supports institutional design rather than regulatory inaction. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Contemporary AI's incapacity for authentic judgment under irreducible uncertainty is an institutional deficit rather than a computational one: an agent that bears no consequence for its errors cannot develop genuine discernment, no matter how capable it becomes. 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.
