LRT Chief Producer Audrius Giržadas commented on the use of AI:

The use of artificial intelligence in creativity is one of the topics that is receiving greater attention this year. According to the information currently available, the fundamental principle is clear – the competition song and its lyrics cannot be completely created by artificial intelligence. We will announce the final conditions after receiving the EBU document

Audrius Giržadas has also shared his moto for the selection process:

We are expecting very different creators – both those that the Lithuanian audience already knows well, and names that we may hear for the first time in the national selection. There is no single formula in Eurovision that would guarantee success, so we would like people not to try to look for it, but to come with their own music, their own idea, and what they believe in
