Virtual: Building Your First AI System: From Concept to Working Prototype

AI doesn't have to be intimidating—this webinar breaks down the basics of building a simple AI system using Azure's beginner-friendly tools. We'll walk through the entire process step-by-step, from understanding what problem you're trying to solve and collecting the right data, to creating a model that can make predictions or classifications. Using Azure's platform, we'll explore how pre-built services and intuitive interfaces make AI accessible without requiring advanced programming skills or deep mathematical knowledge. Attendees will learn the fundamental concepts behind how AI systems work, see how Azure Machine Learning simplifies common tasks, and understand when to use ready-made AI services versus building something custom. We'll also cover realistic expectations—what simple AI can accomplish, where it struggles, and how to avoid common beginner mistakes. Whether you're completely new to AI, exploring Azure's capabilities for the first time, or simply want to understand the basics without getting overwhelmed by technical jargon, this session provides a gentle introduction to building your first AI project.
