The rapid evolution of generative AI is reshaping how organizations operate, innovate, and deliver value. Professionals who develop expertise in generative AI development, prompt engineering, and AI lifecycle management are increasingly valuable to organizations looking to harness these powerful capabilities while ensuring responsible and effective implementation. In this blog, we’re excited to share our newly refreshed series of Plans on Microsoft Learn that aim to supply your team with the tools and knowledge to leverage the latest AI technologies, including:
- Find the best model for your generative AI solution with Azure AI Foundry
- Create agentic AI solutions by using Azure AI Foundry
- Build secure and responsible AI solutions and manage generative AI lifecycles
From sophisticated AI agents that can autonomously perform complex tasks to advanced chat models that enable natural human-AI collaboration, these technologies are becoming essential business tools rather than optional enhancements. Let’s take a look at the latest developments and unlock their full potential with our curated training resources from Microsoft Learn.
Simplify the process of choosing an AI model with Azure AI Foundry
Choosing the optimal generative AI model is essential for any solution, requiring careful evaluation of task complexity, data requirements, and computational constraints. Azure AI Foundry streamlines this decision-making process by offering diverse pre-trained models, fine-tuning capabilities, and comprehensive MLOps tools that enable businesses to test, optimize, and scale their AI applications while maintaining enterprise-grade security and compliance.
Our Plan on Microsoft Learn titled Find the best model for your generative AI solution with Azure AI Foundry will guide you through the process of discovering and deploying the best models for creating generative AI solutions with Azure AI Foundry, including:
- Learn about the differences and strengths of various language models
- Find out how to integrate and use AI models in your applications to enhance functionality and user experience.
- Rapidly create intelligent, market-ready multimodal applications with Azure models, and explore industry-specific models.
In addition, you’ll have the chance to take part in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day, with interactive sessions and expert guidance to help you skill up on Azure AI features and capabilities. By engaging with this Plan on Microsoft Learn, you’ll also have the chance to prove your skills and earn a Microsoft Certification.
Leap into the future of agentic AI solutions with Azure
After choosing the right model for your generative AI purposes, our next Plan on Microsoft Learn goes a step further by introducing agentic AI solutions. A significant evolution in generative AI, agentic AI solutions enable autonomous decision-making, problem-solving, and task execution without constant human intervention. These AI agents can perceive their environment, adapt to new inputs, and take proactive actions, making them valuable across various industries.
In the Create agentic AI solutions by using Azure AI Foundry Plan on Microsoft Learn, you’ll find out how developing agentic AI solutions requires a platform that provides scalability, adaptability, and security. With pre-built AI models, MLOps tools, and deep integrations with Azure services, Azure AI Foundry simplifies the development of custom AI agents that can interact with data, make real-time decisions, and continuously learn from new information. You’ll also:
- Learn how to describe the core features and capabilities of Azure AI Foundry, provision and manage Azure AI resources, create and manage AI projects, and determine when to use Azure AI Foundry.
- Discover how to customize with RAG in Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Foundry SDK, or Azure OpenAI Service to look for answers in documents.
- Learn how to use Azure AI Agent Service, a comprehensive suite of feature-rich, managed capabilities, to bring together the models, data, tools, and services your enterprise needs to automate business processes
There’s also a Microsoft Virtual Training Day featuring interactive sessions and expert guidance, and you can validate your skills by earning a Microsoft Certification.
Safeguard your AI systems for security and fairness
Widespread AI adoption demands rigorous security, fairness, and transparency safeguards to prevent bias, privacy breaches, and vulnerabilities that lead to unethical outcomes or non-compliance. Organizations must implement responsible AI through robust data governance, explainability, bias mitigation, and user safety protocols, while protecting sensitive data and ensuring outputs align with ethical standards.
Our third Plan on Microsoft Learn, Build secure and responsible AI solutions and manage generative AI lifecycles, is designed to introduce the basics of AI security and responsible AI to help increase the security posture of AI environments. You’ll not only learn how to evaluate and improve generative AI outputs for quality and safety, but you’ll also:
- Gain an understanding of the basic concepts of AI security and responsible AI to help increase the security posture of AI environments.
- Learn how to assess and improve generative AI outputs for quality and safety.
- Discover how to help reduce risks by using Azure AI Content Safety to detect, moderate, and manage harmful content.
