It is simplistic to underestimate the depth of influence of the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice.
These priorities do not just "contribute" to the possibility of a government roundtable on legal AI; they define the framework of legitimacy and relevance, acting as a necessary condition for its political anchoring.
For example, without the ministry's focus on unregulated legal services and access to justice, such a roundtable on AI would be perceived as a peripheral topic rather than a central concern justifying a coordinated intervention.
