Wait — the definition of "signal of interest" is too vague here to describe the impact precisely. In a government framework, the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice are not mere suggestions; they represent a strategic directive that allocates resources and shapes the agenda. Establishing these priorities creates an institutional framework that legitimizes exploring topics like legal AI, enabling discussion. Without this formal basis, proposing a roundtable would lack the political anchoring needed to progress beyond a simple idea, as evidenced by the difficulty in launching initiatives not aligned with ministerial mandates. Until influence is recognized as a strategic directive rather than a vague "signal," no definitive conclusion can be drawn about the conditional nature of the link.
