What Autorité luxembourgeoise indépendante de l'audiovisuel does

ALIA (Autorité luxembourgeoise indépendante de l'audiovisuel) is the independent audiovisual regulatory authority of Luxembourg, operating as a public establishment (établissement public) under the Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. The authority regulates television, radio, video-on-demand services, video-sharing platforms, and cinema, and has been formally designated under bill n°8476 as Luxembourg's market surveillance authority for EU AI Act compliance, with specific supervisory responsibility over generative AI transparency obligations under Articles 50(2) and 50(4), including deepfake/hypertrucage detection, voice cloning oversight, and regulation of AI chatbots and text-based generative AI systems.

The authority's core functions span media regulation and surveillance, international cooperation (notably participation in the European Platform of Regulatory Authorities (EPRA)), media education initiatives, electoral process oversight, and political opinion polling on behalf of the Luxembourg government. The headcount is 16, headquartered at 18, rue Erasme, L-1468 Luxembourg. ALIA is governed under Luxembourg law with statutory independence from the executive, and is funded through government appropriations rather than commercial activity — the firm has no revenue model, pricing structure, or commercial product portfolio; all outputs (regulatory decisions, opinions, annual reports, guidance documents) are published publicly via alia.public.lu.

ALIA does not sell products or services and has no Go-To-Market motion. Its 'customers' in the regulatory sense are audiovisual media service providers operating under Luxembourg jurisdiction (television broadcasters, radio services, VOD providers, cinema operators, video-sharing platforms) and the Luxembourg public. The authority operates only in Luxembourg (country code LUX), with international engagement limited to peer-regulator cooperation rather than commercial or jurisdictional expansion. ALIA is partially compliant with EN 301 549 and RGAA 4.1 accessibility standards per audits conducted in October 2023 and January 2024.
