Abstract: 

AI is driving transformation across organizations, including at Microsoft. Our recent, cutting edge AI innovations have allowed us to enhance the customer experience in all Microsoft products from Teams to Office 365 to Bing. In this session, I’ll share how Microsoft is leveraging AI and packaging some of those innovations to deliver as part of our Azure AI services. I’ll specifically deep dive into use cases for Azure Machine Learning, share examples of customers who have made a transformative impact in their business, and demo some of the capabilities that you can leverage in your organization today.
