Putting into service

By Updated

Under the EU AI Act, the supply of an AI system for first use directly to the deployer, or for the provider's own use, in the Union for its intended purpose 1. Own use counts: an organisation that builds a system and runs it itself is its provider and its deployer, with no sale involved.
