Ethical Frameworks for AI and Blockchain Co-Governance presents the following source proposition: The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies represents one of the most significant shifts in socio-technical governance frameworks of the 21st century. 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.
