AI-901T00A Introduction to AI in Azure
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how software is built, and getting the fundamentals right matters before diving into agent development or Azure AI services. This course introduces the core concepts behind AI workloads and shows how Microsoft Foundry supports them in Azure. You will explore generative AI, agents, natural language processing, speech, computer vision, and information extraction, working through practical, case-based exercises you can complete on your own schedule. The course builds a solid foundation for anyone starting out with AI app and agent development on Azure, whether you are preparing for the Azure AI Fundamentals certification or exploring AI as a new skill area. No prior experience with Microsoft Foundry is required, only a basic familiarity with programming concepts. As a self-paced booster, you decide the pace and order that works for you, while still getting real-time support from our team of instructors whenever you need it. This is the ideal starting point before moving on to role-based Azure AI certifications.
