**Affirmed position.** Ethical Decision-Making in Multi-Agent Systems presents the following source proposition: To make ethical decisions, agents should consider the needs of different stakeholders. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Legal and ethical challenges intensify when AI is deployed in critical decision making roles that significantly affect human lives and the reasoning behind the AI decision is opaque. 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.
