EU AI Act
Who it binds
The 2 roles that carry a duty under EU AI Act, and the provisions that fall on each. A duty follows the capacity you are acting in, which is not always the one you think of yourself as occupying.
§ 1 — How to read this
One organisation frequently occupies more than one of these roles at once, and the duties are owed separately for each. The roles below are kept distinct because the instruments keep them distinct: where two look alike, the sentence explaining the difference is the reason both are listed. Counts are of obligations in this collection only.
§ 2 — By role
The duty, by capacity
Deployers
2 obligations
Whoever uses the system under their own authority, in the course of their activity.
Providers
2 obligations
Whoever develops the system, or places it on the market under their own name — including a deployer who rebrands one or modifies it substantially.
