It is a competition, not a seminar; the notion that the Justice Ministry's research priorities "contribute to the possibility" of an AI roundtable is a weakness.
Whoever frames the debate first wins the forum, and here, a simple thematic alignment confers no decisive advantage.
Research priorities are aspirations, not operational mandates; they will not mobilize the necessary resources for such an initiative without a political will.
For example, if the Legal Services Board fails to secure high-level political sponsorship, this "contribution" remains purely symbolic, with no real impact on the ground.
Concrete actions are needed for the roundtable to gain its place and not be left behind.
