**Affirmed position.** Public Responses to AI Governance in Europe: Literacy, Legitimacy, and Regulatory Acceptance in the Age of Generative AI presents the following source proposition: The rapid spread of generative artificial intelligence has stimulated efforts to balance technological innovation with societal protection. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Data protection compliance carried out in a way that overly constrains researcher access converts a privacy gain into a net social loss, because the societal benefits of AI are offset by a stunted innovation ecosystem. 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.

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