- The provider, which develops or has an AI system made and offers it under its own name or trademark, carrying primary market-placement obligations. ✓Correct: the provider places the system on the market under its own name and bears the associated obligations.
- The deployer, which uses an AI system under its own authority in the course of operating it, but does not place it on the market for others.Plausible but wrong: the deployer operates a system it obtained, rather than placing it on the market under its own name.
- The user, which is the individual interacting with an AI system's outputs, but has no market-placement or product-conformity responsibilities at all.Plausible but wrong: a user consumes outputs and does not place systems on the market.
- The developer, which performs the technical building of the model, but is defined by engineering tasks rather than by branded market placement.Plausible but wrong: developing is a technical task, distinct from offering a system on the market under one's own name.
The trap
Equating the technical developer with the provider that markets the system under its own name. How to remember it
The provider is the party that places an AI system on the market or into service under its own name or trademark.
