Overview

Globally, one in ten enterprises now use ten or more artificial intelligence (AI) applications, including chatbots, process optimisation, fraud analysis.

If you want to become an expert and improve your professional standing in AI and machine learning, this course will teach you the future ready skills required.

You’ll master the essentials of Azure, Microsoft’s powerful tool for building cloud-based machine-learning applications. You’ll explore Azure’s core solutions and pillar services: security, privacy, compliance and trust.

You’ll find out about the differences between the three core cloud computing models: infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS). And you’ll learn how businesses are increasingly making use of these models over standard IT software.

Discover how cloud computing concepts relate to AI engineering

This course will teach you the foundational principles that have made chatbots like ChatGPT, and digital assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Cortana, so widespread in our lives.

You’ll examine how these two technology spheres – AI and cloud computing – are seamlessly making these connected, intuitive experiences possible.

This course is for professionals who would like to enhance their employability in the growing field of AI.

It will be particularly of interest to applied machine-learning specialists and engineers, data and AI architects, and AI analysts, statisticians, researchers, scientists, engineers or developers.

Ideally you will need a laptop or desktop computer to complete this course.
