What is AI?

The term AI is an abbreviation for artificial intelligence. The definition for artificial intelligence is… a field in computer science that refers to computers or machines possessing the ability to simulate human intelligence to perform tasks or solve problems. But those two letters ‘AI’ represent more than just an abbreviation. AI stands for something that within one’s lifetimes will have altered the world around us more significantly and faster than any other technology since the discovery of electricity.

As we stand on the brink of a technological revolution, AI represents more than just an abbreviation. It’s a force poised to transform our world at an unprecedented pace. It’s time to explore, understand, and prepare for this inevitable wave of change, ensuring that we harness the power of AI for the betterment of humanity, rather than letting it take advantage of us.

How is AI used in our daily lives?

Already, AI- and machine learning-enabled technologies are used in medicine, transportation, robotics, science, education, the military, surveillance, finance and its regulation, agriculture, entertainment, retail, customer service, and manufacturing. While scientists and engineers explore AI’s potential to advance discovery and technology, smart technologies also directly influence our daily lives, from ordering groceries for us, to predicting the weather.

About the Microsoft AI Engineer certification

The Microsoft Azure AI Engineer certification is referred to as a ‘role-based certification’. According to Microsoft, role-based certifications show that individuals that possess them are keeping pace with today’s technical roles and requirements. They allow a learner to skill up and prove their expertise to employers and peers, plus get the recognition and opportunities they’ve earned.

How does this course work?

This course bundle is made up of three main resources as shown below. Each certification course has as its own set of resources, i.e. 1 x course material, 1 x MeasureUP practice exam, 1 x official Microsoft exam. Each resource is designed to work in conjunction with each other to ensure the successful path to certification. You will complete one course and exam, then repeat the process for the remaining course if you wish to gain the remaining certification. Remember, this course bundle contains two separate Microsoft certifications. You only need to complete the exams in each certification course to gain that specific certification. Read below to learn more about the resources that make up this course.

MeasureUP Practice Exams

After working your way through each course, you should be ready to start revising for your official exams. To do this, we provide you with a MeasureUP or Kaplan practice test. MeasureUP are the official provider to Microsoft for practice tests. These are the closest experience to the actual exam you’ll be taking.

Official Microsoft Exams
