Governance

sectoral or domain-specific supervisory authorities

Existing sector authorities overseeing AI in specific sectors.

Definition

National agencies that already hold regulatory or supervisory responsibilities for specific sectors or domains (e.g., healthcare, transport, financial services) and are tasked with supervising AI systems used in those sectors. The advice recommends preserving and building on these mandates so sectoral supervisors remain the primary point of contact for supervised entities while coordinating with market surveillance bodies and the Core Team.
