**Affirmed position.** AI Governance in the GCC States: A Comparative Analysis of National AI Strategies presents the following source proposition: While this approach fosters rapid innovation, it also raises concerns regarding the enforceability of ethical standards, potential ethicswashing, and alignment with global frameworks, particularly the EU AI Act. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Allowing jurisdictions to tailor smart contract requirements to local statutory frameworks while adhering to a baseline of ethical principles preserves the innovative potential of blockchain by avoiding the homogenizing effects of harmonized legal standards. 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.
