In the functional view of an AI system, what role does the processing component play?

The functional view of an AI system typically divides the system into:

Input Component

Processing Component

Output Component

The “processing component” is responsible for utilizing a trained model to process incoming data and generate outputs such as predictions, actions, or recommendations.

Option B refers to the training phase, which occurs before the processing stage.

Option C relates to governance or lifecycle management — not the system’s processing role.
