Chapter 1. Introduction to the AI-900 Exam
The Microsoft Azure AI-900 certification, officially known as Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals, is focused on AI and cloud computing, all through the lens of Azure. Whether you’re completely new to AI or just starting your journey with cloud technology, this certification is designed to ease you into the essentials. Microsoft labels this as a “900-level” certification. This means it’s entry-level and perfect if you’re just dipping your toes into these areas. And you don’t need to be a coding expert or a data science genius to succeed.
At its core, the AI-900 introduces you to foundational AI concepts—like ML and NLP—while walking you through how AI workloads function in Azure. A workload is the specific tasks, processes, or operations that a system, application, or service performs. It’s a term you will often see on the exam.

Each chapter is crafted to get you fully ready for the AI-900 exam. We’ll take it one concept at a time, explaining everything in plain language and showing you practical examples using Azure’s AI tools, so you can see exactly how things work ...
