When Decentralization Stops Working: A Framework for AI Governance under Changing Risk Structures presents the following source proposition: <span> <p><span>Debates over AI governance frequently assume that decentralized, adaptive approaches and centralized regulatory oversight are competing alternatives. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that It is not possible to create a centralized regulator like the SEC for the decentralized economy, because doing so would place a supranational market under competing jurisdictions with naturally contradictory regulations. 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.
