Deployer
AIGP glossary · Last reviewed: · By Victor Humenhuk (AIGP certified)
Deployer - Role that uses AI per regulations and provider instructions, maintains human oversight, keeps logs and runs impact assessments.
In the AIGP body of knowledge, Deployer comes up under Module 3: Governance & Risk Management · BoK I.B; Module 4: AI Regulation · BoK IV.C.
Deployer in context
- Global AI laws share a ==common regulatory DNA== of ==risk-based classification, role-based responsibilities and transparency requirements==; what differs is how each jurisdiction defines risk and distributes obligations across [[Provider]], [[Deployer]], [[Importer]] and [[Distributor]]. (AI Regulation: The Lay of the Land)
- Regulation distributes duties across the supply chain: a [[Provider]] builds the system, an [[Importer]] brings it in, a [[Distributor]] passes it on, and a [[Deployer]] puts it to work - but a deployer can ==become a provider== by making a ==substantial modification to a high-risk system==. (The four regulated roles)
- [[Deployer]] obligations are fewer than a provider's but broader, centred on transparency and monitoring (==EU six-month minimum== log retention; ==FRIA in the EU for public bodies==). (Deployers, importers and distributors)
