Provider of an AI System

A natural or legal person, public or private, who develops an AI system, directly or by order, with a view to placing it on the market or applying it in a service provided by them, under their own name or brand, whether for a fee or free of charge.

A provider of an AI system is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that develops an AI system or has it developed, and then places it on the EU market or puts it into service under their own name or trademark. This includes entities outside the EU if their AI system's output is used within the EU.
