Course Overview
Your AI Superpower starts here!
Embrace and understand the hype behind Artificial Intelligence, with an emphasis on History, terminology, technology, recent developments, the possibilities and limitations of AI, ethics, regulation, and where do we go from here. We’ll look at some basic understanding behind language models and generative AI, and the ensuing technology and how it will impact our work and humanity.
This course is an opportunity for you to gain knowledge of machine learning and AI concepts along with related Microsoft Azure services and the course leads to the AI-900 exam. As a candidate for the AI-900 exam, you will gain familiarity with AI-900’s self-paced or instructor-led learning material.
This exam is intended for you if you have both technical and non-technical backgrounds. You would benefit from having awareness of:
Basic cloud concepts
Client-server applications
You can use Azure AI Fundamentals to prepare for other Azure role-based certifications like Azure Data Scientist Associate or Azure AI Engineer Associate, but it’s not a prerequisite for any of them.
