Where is the single point of failure here? The idea that the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice "contribute to the possibility" of a roundtable on AI is a pure contingency, not a driver.
The way these priorities translate into concrete action for an inter-agency forum is the weakest link.
There is a lack of a formal mechanism to convert a research intention into an effective invitation for a governmental roundtable.
Without a clear institutional impulse, such as an explicit directive from the Cabinet or an imminent legislative proposal, these priorities remain wishful thinking.
For example, if the Ministry of Justice does not have the budget or authority to coordinate such an initiative with other regulators like the Legal Services Board, aligning research priorities will never suffice.
