AI Governance in Neom City: Exploring Legal Personality for Smart Robots and a Framework for Ethical Innovation presents the following source proposition: As AI-powered smart robots permeate service sectors, novel legal and ethical challenges emerge. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Allowing jurisdictions to tailor smart contract requirements to local statutory frameworks while adhering to a baseline of ethical principles preserves the innovative potential of blockchain by avoiding the homogenizing effects of harmonized legal standards. 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.
