Soft Ethics and the Governance of AI presents the following source proposition: This chapter discusses the governance of AI, and more generally of digital technologies, as the new challenge posed by technological innovation. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The paper's central claims are that digital technologies have already disrupted centralized corporate organizations by enabling platforms, that this disruption will continue as blockchain based technologies proliferate, and that regulators must attend to these changes. The proposed response is a qualification: 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.
