Provider
AIGP glossary · Last reviewed: · By Victor Humenhuk (AIGP certified)
Provider - Role ensuring safety/transparency before market, preparing technical documentation and carrying liability; the EU AI Act term for similar actors.
In the AIGP body of knowledge, Provider comes up under Module 3: Governance & Risk Management · BoK I.B; Module 4: AI Regulation · BoK IV.C.
Provider in context
- Know each role's signature duties → and the ==terminology trap== that the Colorado AI Act says [[Developer]] while the EU AI Act says [[Provider]] for similar actors. (The four roles: developers, providers, deployers, users)
- 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)
