How can we ignore the momentum that the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice confer on an initiative like the roundtable on AI, transforming caution into a real risk?
The fact that the Ministry of Justice focuses on unregulated legal services and access to justice creates a political framework where a discussion on AI, which directly touches these areas, becomes imperative.
Such a ministerial orientation does not just "allow"; it establishes a legitimacy and urgency that transform a proposal into a near-necessity.
Taking an assertive position shows us that if the Ministry of Justice identifies "regulation of AI in legal services" as a priority, it is illusory to think that a roundtable on the same subject would not be heavily influenced.
