Internal AI Ethics Committees: Window Dressing or Working Mechanism? A Comparative Study of Corporate Governance Structures presents the following source proposition: Since 2018, enterprises across technology, financial services, healthcare, and retail have established internal AI ethics committees, advisory boards, and responsible AI teams in response to public pressure, regulatory signals, and investor scrutiny. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Since 2002 United States corporate governance has been substantially upgraded twice in response to crises, following more than seventy years of comparative regulatory inactivity, a concentration of regulatory activity in a short timespan that is itself striking. 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.
