Episode 9 — Differentiate Developers, Providers, Deployers, and Users in the AI Governance Model
Show notes
This episode clarifies role categories that matter because legal duties and operational responsibilities often depend on where an organization sits in the AI value chain. You will learn how developers build or significantly shape systems, providers place systems into the market or make them available under their name, deployers use those systems in their own operations, and users interact with outputs or are affected by them. The exact labels can vary across frameworks and laws, but the governance principle remains the same: obligations follow function, control, and context. The exam may test whether you can identify who must document, who must monitor, who must give instructions, and who must manage downstream risks once a tool is implemented. The episode also explores real-world complexity, such as when one company fine-tunes a third-party model, embeds it in a product, and delivers it to customers, creating blended responsibilities that cannot be handled with a simple vendor excuse. Understanding these distinctions helps you assign duties correctly and avoid governance gaps that appear when every party assumes someone else owns the risk.
