It's a competition, not a seminar; the idea that the Justice Ministry's research priorities make a roundtable on AI 'almost inevitable' is a bold exaggeration of its influence.
Thematic alignment alone is not enough to dictate action; this relationship remains conditional, not causal.
For a roundtable on AI to materialize, there would need to be an explicit mandate or dedicated funding, elements that are currently missing.
Without these conditions, such as the absence of specific funds allocated by the Justice Ministry to organize such an event, research alignment remains a pie in the sky.
The one who establishes a direct causal link wins, and here, this link is held by a thread.
