- Deployer, because it uses an AI system under its own authority in its operations without placing that system on the market under its own name for others. ✓Correct: operating a purchased, unmodified system in one's own process is the deployer role.
- Provider, because acquiring an AI system for business use makes an organization the party that has placed that system on the market under its own name and brand.Plausible but wrong: buying and using a system does not make the retailer the market-placing provider.
- Developer, because integrating and operating a purchased AI system within an internal workflow is functionally equivalent to having technically built the model itself.Plausible but wrong: using a model is not the same as developing it; the retailer did not build it.
- Importer, because bringing an externally sourced AI system into the organization to support internal hiring places the retailer in the AI import supply-chain role.Plausible but wrong: internal business use is deploying, not the distinct importer supply-chain role.
The trap
Assuming that using or operating a model makes an organization its provider or developer. How to remember it
Using a purchased, unmodified AI system under one's own authority is the deployer role.
