It's a contest; the mere existence of the Ministry of Justice's research priorities does not confer a decisive advantage to convening an AI roundtable.
This relationship is conditional, not a direct lever, because the Legal Services Board (LSB) must win this forum.
The Ministry's priorities are a foundation, but they do not guarantee such a meeting without an active strategy from the LSB.
If the LSB does not present a robust analysis of the risks of unregulated AI for consumer protection, the Ministry's momentum could be lost.
A deliberate maneuver by the LSB is needed to turn this opportunity into reality; otherwise, other priorities will take precedence.
