# AI Act Transparency Rules (Article 50) in Luxembourg

## Who this is for
- Small businesses, NGOs, and independent professionals in Luxembourg who
  need to know what the EU AI Act's transparency rules make them label.
- Anyone running a customer-facing chatbot, voice assistant, or auto-reply
  tool.
- Anyone publishing realistic AI-generated or AI-edited images, audio, or
  video, or unedited AI-written text on matters of public interest.

## Problem
- Article 50 transparency obligations have applied since 2 August 2026, and
  are easy to either miss or over-comply with.
- Most published guidance is written for large enterprises, so a small
  organisation cannot tell which of the four situations actually apply to it.
- The August and December 2026 dates get confused: the visible disclosures
  are live now; only machine-readable marking of output from pre-existing
  generative systems has until 2 December 2026.

## What we do
- Set out the four situations Article 50 covers: AI that talks to people,
  realistic AI-made media, AI text on public-interest matters, and emotion
  recognition or biometric categorisation.
- Show what a compliant label looks like in practice: a chatbot banner, an
  image credit line, and the machine-readable marking mainstream tools embed.
- Draw the line on what it does not require: no labelling of AI-assisted,
  human-edited copy, clearly artistic images, or purely internal AI use.
- Set up the disclosures and content labelling with you when you want it done.

## Outcomes
- A clear read on which of the four transparency duties touch your work.
- Visible disclosures and content labelling in place where they are required.
- No effort spent labelling content that Article 50 never covered.
- A defensible, dated position you can show a client, a funder, or the CNPD.

## How we work
- Start with the 2-minute readiness check on the main AI Act page to see which
  obligations apply, then set up the specific labels your situation needs.
- Practical setup work, not legal advice: Crystallized Intelligence is not a
  law firm, and will say when a question needs one.
- Every regulatory claim cites a primary source (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
  Article 50, the Commission transparency guidelines, and the Code of Practice);
  the wider framework and Luxembourg supervision live on the readiness guide.
