Deployers of high-risk AI systems must implement the provider's human oversight instructions, monitor system operation, log events, inform affected natural persons, and report serious incidents. Deployers using GPAI models in their own AI systems take on responsibility for downstream use. The Act distinguishes between professional deployers (in scope) and end-users using AI for personal purposes (out of scope). Public authorities deploying high-risk AI for benefit determinations, law enforcement, or migration assessment face specific disclosure duties.
HR departments using AI screening tools, banks using algorithmic credit scoring, and hospitals using AI diagnostics are all deployers bearing specific compliance obligations alongside the provider's duties.
A hospital that uses a medical imaging device is the deployer — it must maintain the equipment, train staff on its proper use, and report malfunctions, even though the manufacturer certified the device.
