Compliance Roles
Most US AI laws split obligations along a developer / deployer line, with downstream vendors and licensees touched by ancillary requirements. Pick your role to see the consolidated obligation matrix.
AI Developer
Creates, trains, or substantially modifies AI systems before they reach deployers and end users. Carries duties around documentation, transparency, and bias mitigation.
See obligations →AI Deployer
Operates AI systems to make or substantially factor into decisions affecting consumers, employees, or other regulated parties. Carries the heaviest compliance burden under most US state laws.
See obligations →Combined Developer + Deployer
Develops AI internally and deploys it for consequential decisions. Must comply with both sides of the developer/deployer split.
See obligations →AI Vendor
