Learning Outcomes:
Describe the principles of responsible AI
Explore fundamental concepts of machine learning on Azure
Describe Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and considerations
- Describe features of generative AI workloads on Azure
Key Topics:
Identify features of common AI workloads, including machine learning, knowledge mining, and conversational AI
Identify common types of machine learning and their use cases
- Describe features of Natural Language Processing (NLP) workloads on Azure
Exam Details
This course is designed to build participants’ understanding of key concepts and domains covered in the AI-901: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals certification.
While the course provides foundational preparation aligned with the certification, the exam is not bundled and must be registered separately.
To maximise success, participants are strongly encouraged to complement the course with additional self-study, revision of course materials, and dedicated practice before attempting the exam.
