Honestly, seeing the Ministry of Justice's research priorities as an enabling condition for an AI legal roundtable makes me smile.
The secular arc of technological innovation and its generational impact on society are much more powerful forces that make such discussions inevitable, regardless of any annual research agenda.
A crucial structural conditionality is missing here: without explicit political will or dedicated funds to translate these priorities into a concrete initiative, they will remain mere intentions, as if waiting for a weather report to bring rain.
For example, research priorities on digital justice have not directly led to legislation on electronic evidence without a strong political catalyst and targeted funding.
