Azure Cognitive Services

Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in everything from self-driving cars to voice powered assistants - but is AI helpful, in everyday job tasks? And maybe more important, can you use it today? The answer to both is yes and, in this session, we'll take a look at a suite of tools from Microsoft that help you build AI into your apps called Azure Cognitive Services. With Cognitive Services you can add vision, language, speech, decision, and search capabilities to your app. We'll take a brief tour of the overall landscape of Cognitive Services and then dive a bit deeper on some services that are extremely useful in everyday business applications, like optical character recognition, creating a question and answer service, and extracting key data from forms.This one-hour session will be fun an interactive.
