Microsoft Launches ‘AI Odyssey’ to Empower 100,000 Indian Developers with Advanced AI Skills
Microsoft is set to launch ‘AI Odyssey,’ an initiative aimed at empowering 100,000 developers in India with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and tools. This month-long learning experience is open to all AI enthusiasts in the country, regardless of their background or experience level.
To participate in the ‘AI Odyssey’ initiative, developers can register on aka.ms/AIOdyssey and gain access to various learning modules and resources designed to enhance their practical skills in AI development. The program is divided into two levels, both of which must be completed by January 31, 2024.
The first level focuses on teaching participants how to leverage Azure AI services to create and deploy solutions for different scenarios. Microsoft provides valuable resources, code samples, and guides to equip developers with the necessary skills to execute AI projects aligned with specific business goals.
In the second level, participants are challenged to demonstrate their AI proficiency through an online assessment that includes interactive lab tasks. Successful completion of this level earns them Microsoft Applied Skills credentials, a verifiable testament to their ability to solve real-world problems using AI technologies.
Those who successfully navigate both levels of the program will have a chance to win VIP passes to the Microsoft AI Tour scheduled for February 8, 2024, in Bangalore.
Irina Ghose, Managing Director of Microsoft India, stated, AI is the future of innovation, and India is leading the way with its tech talent. The Microsoft Applied Skills credential will help developers demonstrate their competence and creativity in the most in-demand AI skills and scenarios. We welcome all developers to join us in creating meaningful AI solutions that will contribute to India’s economy.
Microsoft’s ‘AI Odyssey’ initiative in India seeks to empower developers by providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the field of AI. By offering comprehensive learning modules and practical resources, Microsoft aims to foster innovation and drive AI adoption in the country.
