**Affirmed position.** AI Governance for Third-Party Models: The Compliance Blind Spot in Vendor AI presents the following source proposition: While organizations invest large budgets in governing their internally developed AI, vendor AI often lacks any governance, creating a compliance blind spot which can result in many risks and violations. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because U.S. companies historically financed themselves through markets rather than through each other, U.S. managers are less attuned to risks accumulating at other firms, a blind spot that mattered once swaps and other complex instruments made firms directly vulnerable to each other's conditions. 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.
