Enhance your understanding of machine learning and AI using Microsoft Azure and Python.

Develop machine learning skills with Python and explore Azure’s AI functionality

Have you ever wanted to design and build a solution using machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI)? Together with Microsoft, this ExpertTrack will teach you how to do that using Microsoft Azure.

It will also help you prepare for related exams including Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-100) and Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900).

Work towards a career in AI, machine learning, or data science

PwC research estimates that AI will add more than $15 trillion to the world economy by 2030.

Data scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI specialists will play a key role in bringing this to life. AI Specialist was the number 1 in-demand role in 2020 for the UK, USA, and Australia. Key skills required included machine learning, Python, deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision.

As organisations try to implement new technologies, they are often faced with a shortage of talent to implement these initiatives.

This ExpertTrack will help you develop those in-demand skills including machine learning, data science, artificial intelligence, and Python.(Advanced and Applied AI)

It will enable you to build strong foundations to start your career in machine learning, AI, or data science.

Build an AI solution with Microsoft Azure

More than 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure – Microsoft’s cloud computing platform.

This ExpertTrack will provide you with a detailed introduction to the core services offered by Microsoft Azure while teaching you how to use its advanced Azure AI functionality. You will gain skills that are in wide demand across many industries, therefore boosting your career prospects.

Develop Python skills for AI

Artificial intelligence works thanks to predictive models driven by machine learning. On this ExpertTrack, you will learn how to build such machine learning tools and predictive models using the Python programming language.

You will develop the necessary Python skills to build predictive models for machine learning algorithms, to conduct data science research and other data science projects.

Use Microsoft Azure to develop an AI chatbot

Finally, you will use Azure Cognitive Services to create your own AI chatbot. You will learn the basics of natural language programming and use LUIS (language understanding) to improve your chatbot’s artificial intelligence and functionality.

Upon completing this ExpertTrack, you’ll have a strong understanding of the core skills needed for a career in machine learning, AI, or data science.
