First classify, then judge: the idea that the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice "allow" a roundtable on legal AI is an imperfect classification of the relation. It is necessary to distinguish between a direct authorization and a conditional influence. These priorities create a favorable thematic context, but do not guarantee the effective holding of the roundtable, which depends on political will and allocated resources.
For example, a change of government or a lack of budget could easily neutralize this "authorization" without the research priorities changing, as seen with the digital platform regulation bill a few years ago.
