AI, Corporate Governance And Sustainability presents the following source proposition: Since the beginning of this century, information technologies have been characterized by impressive advancements that have offered us powerful tools such as distributed ledger technologies, blockchain, machine learning algorithms and smart contracts. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Critics who dismiss artificial intelligence on boards as science fiction not worth engaging are wrong: AI on boards is a real prospect, and technologies such as blockchain-based smart contracts will both disrupt corporate governance and supply solutions to it. 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.
