**Affirmed position.** AI Governance for Third-Party Models: The Compliance Blind Spot in Vendor AI presents the following source proposition: As organizations rapidly deploy AI to govern many core business processes, third-party and vendor AI models are increasingly used in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and public sectors. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that WDAGs allow new regulatory and ethical standards to be integrated into existing AI systems without overhauling the entire model architecture, which is what makes rapid legal adaptation feasible in sectors such as public safety and healthcare. 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.
