AI Operator (NIST AI RMF)
NIST AI RMF actor type — the entity that operates an AI system after it has been deployed by another actor. Sits between AI Provider + AI User + AI Subject in NIST's actor model. Practical example: a hospital running a vendor-supplied diagnostic AI is the Operator; the vendor is the Provider; the patient is the Subject.
