Sustainable AI-Driven Assessment in Higher Education: A Systematic Review of Fairness, Transparency, Pedagogical Innovation, and Governance presents the following source proposition: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly utilized in higher-education assessment; however, existing research remains fragmented, with limited synthesis regarding the interplay of fairness, transparency, pedagogy, and governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Well-capitalized centralized incumbents can outpace decentralized entrants in user acquisition by leveraging existing customer bases and brand recognition, so decentralized startups must show clear advantages in compensation, transparency, or data protection to win adoption. 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.
