An **AI Application** is an entity within the [[Service Delivery (CSDM domain)|Service Delivery domain]] of the [[Common Service Data Model|Common Service Data Model]] (CSDM), a reference architecture developed by [[ServiceNow|ServiceNow]] that provides prescriptive guidance on service-related definitions and data modeling within the ServiceNow AI Platform. An AI Application represents AI software applications that can run on various platforms such as [[Linux|Linux]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Docker (software)|Docker]] containers, or [[Kubernetes|Kubernetes]] clusters, supporting diverse AI workloads including [[Machine learning|machine learning]] models, data analytics, intelligent services, and AI-enabled applications. AI Applications are recorded in the cmdb_ci_appl_ai_application table within the [[Configuration management database|CMDB]], extended from the [[Application (CSDM)|Application]] table (cmdb_ci_appl). They form part of the [[Service Delivery Network|Service Delivery Network]] as a technology workflow component alongside [[AI Function (CSDM)|AI Functions]], which represent cloud-deployed AI SaaS services. AI Applications are related to other AI entities within CSDM 5, including [[AI Digital Asset (CSDM)|AI Digital Asset]] and its children in the [[Build & Integration (CSDM domain)|Build & Integration domain]], and [[Data (AI) Service Instance (CSDM)|Data Service Instance]] for deployed AI and data services. This structure supports the expanded scope of CSDM 5 to include generative AI capabilities as first-class entities for integration, delivery, and dependency fulfillment across the [[CSDM Service Life Cycle|CSDM Service Life Cycle]].
