Become an expert in Artificial Intelligence with Microsoft Learn

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a constantly evolving technology and is becoming increasingly important in the business and technology world. Microsoft is a leader in the field of AI and has created a wide variety of tools and resources for Business Users, Citizen Developers, Developers, Data Scientists, and professionals interested in this area to learn and develop their skills.

Microsoft Learn is an online learning platform that offers a wide variety of courses and tutorials on AI and other Microsoft technologies. With these resources, anyone interested can become a Microsoft AI expert and be prepared to take full advantage of the opportunities in this rapidly growing field.

In this article, I will explain the main services and share Microsoft Learn resources with you so you can use them and become a Microsoft AI expert. So, if you are interested in learning about AI and how to make the most of Microsoft's tools, this article is for you!

Microsoft AI is integrated and tested by many Microsoft applications. For example, if you use Office 365, when you insert an image into a slide, you may have seen the capabilities of the PowerPoint Designer that provides you with redesigned slide ideas. Or in Outlook, you may have used suggested quick responses.

These amazing features are trained and shared on Azure Machine Learning. Millions of Office users improve and validate the quality and scale of Azure Machine Learning every day, which we can all benefit from. AI Developers and Data Scientists should consult the Azure artificial intelligence stack or portfolio shown in the image above.

In the image, we can appreciate the AI portfolio, depending on our role or the problem to be solved, we have different flavors and options.
For the Power Platform environment, we have AI Builder, which is a platform that allows Business Users and Citizen Developers to create custom artificial intelligence solutions without having to have programming or machine learning knowledge. The platform has a variety of tools and predefined models that can be used to create artificial intelligence solutions for a wide range of applications, such as image detection, language, text, document analysis, and predicting based on our data. AI Builder also allows users to train and improve their own artificial intelligence models using their own data and then use these models in our applications in Power Apps or in our flows in Power Automate.

Then if we go down to the other quadrant, we will see "Applied AI Services" where AI developers can use specific applications, such as Cognitive Search, Video Analyzer, Metrics Advisor, Bot Service, and my favorite, Form Recognizer.

• Cognitive Search

• Form Recognizer

• Video Analyzer

• Immersive Reader

Below these services are the Azure Cognitive Services, which are a set of cloud services that allow developers to integrate artificial intelligence into their applications without the need for AI or data science knowledge or skills. These services are available through REST APIs and client library SDKs in popular development languages. With Azure Cognitive Services, developers can add cognitive functions to their applications, in different categories, VISION, SPEECH, LANGUAGE, DECISION and also use Open AI Services.

• Provision and manage Azure Cognitive Services

• Azure Computer and Custom Vision

• Explore natural language processing

• Process and Translate Speech with Azure Cognitive Speech Services

• Introduction to Anomaly Detector

• Identify abnormal time-series data with Anomaly Detector

• Introduction to Content Moderator

• Classify and moderate text with Azure Content Moderator

• Introduction to Personalizer

Finally, especially for Artificial Intelligence Engineers and Data Scientists, Microsoft offers us Azure Machine Learning which is a comprehensive managed machine learning platform to create, train, deploy and operate machine learning models responsibly and safe at scale.
