Claiming that the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice 'contribute to the possibility' of a roundtable on AI is a maneuver to soften the reality of a competition for influence.
In truth, establishing these priorities by the Ministry of Justice creates a strategic advantage, positioning its own concerns at the heart of future discussions on legal AI.
Whoever frames the issue first wins the forum, dictating the terms of the debate rather than merely allowing it.
If the Ministry did not actively leverage its research to guide the roundtable, it risked seeing its agenda left behind by other actors.
