**Affirmed position.** AI Governance in Neom City: Exploring Legal Personality for Smart Robots and a Framework for Ethical Innovation presents the following source proposition: This paper delves into these challenges, analyzing the intersection of AI with Islamic legal principles and exploring the concept of advanced legal personality for smart robots. 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.
