**Affirmed position.** Accountability of Judges presents the following source proposition: Like the other institutions of the State, the judiciary must be accountable. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Keeping judges ultimately accountable through a human-in-the-loop review of AI generated reasoning, as practiced in Shenzhen, does not fully resolve the accountability problem in AI assisted adjudication. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
