This image is an infographic-style diagram illustrating the concept of "AI Application Monitoring." The title at the top is "AI APPLICATION MONITORING," with a subtitle that reads, "AI application monitoring tracks, measures, and analyzes the performance of AI systems in real-time."

The label below it says, "Input and output quality."      Top right: An icon with a dollar sign ($) and a clock (L). The label below it says, "Costs and response times."      Bottom left: A line graph showing a downward trend. The label below the graph says, "Model drift."  The overall design is clean, with a light blue background and dark blue text, using simple icons to convey complex ideas related to managing and maintaining artificial intelligence systems.
