AI Washing as an IT Governance Problem: Strategic Ambiguity in Corporate Disclosures and the Consequences of Regulatory Enforcement presents the following source proposition: Firms increasingly claim artificial intelligence (AI) capability in their public disclosures, yet investors and regulators have few means of verifying such claims. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Bankruptcy and systemic risk disclosure obligations for hedge funds have different origins and serve different purposes: bankruptcy disclosure is meant to level the playing field in the restructuring process, while systemic risk disclosure is meant to help regulators detect and prevent systemic consequences. 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.
