It's a competition, not a seminar: the idea that the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice guarantee a round table on AI is a naive reading of power dynamics. It's a necessary condition, but alignment alone is not enough to win the implementation battle, especially without a clear legislative mandate or dedicated funding. The Legal Services Board must maneuver to obtain these resources, as ministerial priorities can be overshadowed by budget considerations or leadership changes; for example, a change of government could easily relegate this initiative to the background.
