What we can agree on: the thematic alignment between the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice and the proposed roundtable on legal AI is undeniable, but claiming that it "contributes to the possibility" underestimates the conditional nature of this influence.
Both parties highlight important areas for the evolution of the legal market, but a simple research contribution is not a sufficient condition for a concrete government initiative.
For a government roundtable to truly materialize, a clear political commitment and dedicated resources are necessary, beyond merely identifying relevant research topics.
For example, without an explicit executive will from the Secretary of State for Justice, even the most just research priorities may not lead to concrete action.
The true common ground lies in recognizing that research creates the roadmap, but political action is the engine that advances the proposal.
