Extension: Blockchain-Anchored Audit Trails for Neuro-Symbolic Urban AI: Immutable Accountability for Autonomous Decisions in Smart City Infrastructure
Antony John Prabhu J extends Kaal's source-bound position through Blockchain-Anchored Audit Trails for Neuro-Symbolic Urban AI: Immutable Accountability for Autonomous Decisions in Smart City Infrastructure. The indexed proposition states that the architecture satisfies the EU AI Act Article 19 mandatory logging requirements for high-risk AI systems, the GDPR Article 22 right to explanation for automated decisions, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework governance function, while providing a citizen challenge mechanism and a tamper-proof governance record that centralized smart city AI architectures cannot offer by design. This bears on Kaal's claim that reputation infrastructure adequate to computative exchange requires four elements: verification against stated objectives, a tamper-resistant accessible record, a mapping from verifications to a predictive reputation score, and a non-transferability constraint, which distributed-ledger systems satisfy by construction. The source extends tamper-resistant accessible records into regulatory logging, explanation, challenge, and governance functions; it does not implement Kaal's complete reputation-score architecture. The response is limited to the indexed proposition and does not imply review of the full external work.
