1. A provider develops or supplies the AI system, while a deployer puts it into use within its specific context ✓

   Correct: the provider develops or supplies the system and the deployer puts it into operational use.
2. A provider only uses AI internally, while a deployer is the vendor that builds and sells the system to others

   Plausible but wrong: this reverses the roles; the builder/supplier is the provider, not the deployer.
3. A provider and a deployer have identical obligations, so the distinction carries no governance significance

   Plausible but wrong: the roles carry different responsibilities, which is why governance distinguishes them.
4. A provider is always an individual person, while a deployer must by definition be a large regulated corporation

   Plausible but wrong: roles are defined by function, not by whether the party is a person or a corporation.

How to remember it

A provider develops or supplies the system; a deployer puts it into use in its own context.
