AI, Corporate Governance And Sustainability presents the following source proposition: Corporate law has not been immune from this rapid evolution; in 2014, the news that an algorithm named “Vital” had been appointed to a board of directors of a Hong Kong-based venture capital firm caused a sensation in the business environment and among corporate law scholars. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Despite wide-ranging criticism of N/DPAs on authority, fairness, and expertise grounds, scholars agree that N/DPAs do influence corporate governance. 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.
