In Lithuania, there is no dedicated agency focusing specifically on AI matters. However, there is currently, a draft amendment to the Law on Technology and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania (lit. Lietuvos Respublikos technologijų ir inovacijų įstatymas) and the Law on Information Society Services (lit. Lietuvos Respublikos informacinės visuomenės paslaugų įstatymas) has been presented to the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania. According to this draft, two agencies may be identified:
- The Innovation Agency, which is granted the authority to perform the functions of the national competent authority – the notifying authority. The Innovation Agency is also entrusted with the responsibility for establishing an artificial intelligence regulatory sandbox and overseeing its operation.
- The Communications Regulatory Authority, which is granted the authority to perform the functions of the national competent authority – the market surveillance authority and the general contact point.
