Who Should Attend?
This hands-on seminar is open to Developers, Senior Software Engineers, IT Pros, Architects, IT Managers, Citizen developers, Technology Product Managers, IT leaders, Enterprise Architects, Chief Analytics Officers, and Chief Technology Officers and decision-makers interested in learning about Azure OpenAI & Azure Applied AI to infuse artificial intelligence and build next-generation multimodal applications. A multimodal GenAI application seamlessly generates high-quality content across text, images, video, and audio, all at once. AI agents are designed to perform specific tasks, answer questions, and automate processes for users. These agents vary widely in complexity. They range from simple chatbots, to copilots, to advanced AI assistants in the form of digital or robotic systems that can run complex workflows autonomously. Experience with either C# or Python is preferred, but it is not required. No prior knowledge of AI is required. Although this is not a seminar/ workshop on data & analytics, data scientists will find it very useful too, as will data stewards and technically minded data protection officers and Red Teams.
