In this talk, we will discuss how Microsoft's Intelligent Data Platform can help organizations lead the AI era. As AI becomes more prevalent, it is imperative to have a comprehensive platform that supports the entire data lifecycle in order to transform data into insights and actions. In an era when artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent, the Microsoft cloud provides all the tools and APIs needed to build intelligent applications quickly, easily, and securely. Microsoft is also committed to open AI and has partnered with Open AI to advance AI research and development. Today, Azure AI enhances Microsoft apps' intelligence and usability, a goal many of our customers aim for when building their own applications. However, customers often struggle with data for various reasons, such as lack of skills, tools, governance, and culture. Therefore, the platform is designed to be flexible and modular to meet specific needs and goals at customers' terms.
