Week 1
Get started with artificial intelligence correct
- Get started with AI on Azure
  With AI, we can build solutions that seemed like science fiction a short time ago; enabling incredible advances in health care, financial management, environmental protection, and other areas to make a better world for everyone.
- Key workloads of AI
  Simply put, AI is the creation of software that imitates human behaviors and capabilities. Let's learn about the key workloads of AI.
- Understand responsible AI
  At Microsoft, AI software development is guided by a set of six principles, designed to ensure that AI applications provide amazing solutions to difficult problems without any unintended negative consequences.
Week 2
Explore visual tools for machine learning correct
- Use automated machine learning in Azure Machine Learning
  In this activity, you will learn how to use automated machine learning in Azure Machine Learning.
- Create a regression model with Azure Machine Learning designer
  In this activity, you will learn about creating a regression model with Azure Machine Learning designer
- Create a classification model with Azure Machine Learning designer
  In this activity you will learn how to create a classification model with Azure Machine Learning designer.
- Create a clustering model with Azure Machine Learning designer
  In this activity, you will learn how to create a clustering model with Azure Machine Learning designer.
Week 3
Explore Computer Vision
- Analyze images with the Computer Vision service
  The Computer Vision service enables software engineers to create intelligent solutions that extract information from images; a common task in many artificial intelligence (AI) scenarios.
- Classify images with the Custom Vision service
  Image classification is a common workload in artificial intelligence (AI) applications. It harnesses the predictive power of machine learning to enable AI systems to identify real-world items based on images.
- Detect objects in images with the Custom Vision service
  Object detection is a form of computer vision in which artificial intelligence (AI) agents can identify and locate specific types of object in an image or camera feed.
- Detect and analyze faces with the Face service
  Face detection, analysis, and recognition is an important capability for artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. The Face cognitive service in Azure makes it easy integrate these capabilities into your applications.
- Read text with the Computer Vision service
  Optical character recognition (OCR) enables artificial intelligence (AI) systems to read text in images, enabling applications to extract information from photographs, scanned documents, and other sources of digitized text.
- Analyze receipts with the Form Recognizer service
  Processing invoices and receipts is a common task in many business scenarios. Increasingly, organizations are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to automate data extraction from scanned receipts.
Week 4
Explore Natural Language Processing
- Analyze text with the Language service
