- An actor that develops an AI system or has it developed and makes it available on the market. ✓Correct: a provider is the actor that supplies the AI system to the market, whether it built it or had it built.
- An actor that puts an existing AI system into use within its own operational context.Plausible but wrong: that describes a deployer, which uses rather than supplies the system.
- An actor that is the natural person ultimately interacting with the AI system's outputs day to day.Plausible but wrong: that describes an end user, not the supplier of the system.
- An actor that is the public authority responsible for supervising and enforcing AI rules in a market.Plausible but wrong: that describes a regulator, not a provider of AI systems.
The trap
Conflating the provider (who supplies the system) with the deployer (who puts it into use). How to remember it
A provider develops or has developed an AI system and makes it available on the market.
