Which statement differentiates AI Provider from AI Deployer?

• A. Provider develops and markets AI; Deployer uses AI in a professional capacity.
• B. Provider uses AI; Deployer develops.
• C. Provider and Deployer are the same.
• D. Provider is a regulatory body.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is who creates and sells AI versus who actually uses it in practice. An AI provider develops the technology and brings AI products to market, handling the creation, licensing, and support. An AI deployer, on the other hand, is the organization that implements and uses that AI within its operations, integrating it into processes, managing data, and overseeing its professional use and risk. The statement that matches this distinction—provider develops and markets AI; deployer uses AI in a professional capacity—correctly captures the division of roles. The other options swap roles, claim they’re the same, or mislabel the provider as a regulator, which doesn’t reflect how these roles function in real-world AI governance and deployment.
