Azure AI plays a pivotal role in transforming how businesses use cloud computing. It offers a suite of intelligent APIs and services — from Azure Cognitive Services for vision, speech, and language, to Azure OpenAI Service for integrating generative AI. Developers can build smart applications that analyze images, automate conversations, and predict outcomes using machine learning. With Azure Machine Learning Studio, data scientists can train and deploy models seamlessly. Organizations use Azure AI to improve decision-making, enhance customer experience, and automate workflows. Its integration with Power BI, Databricks, and other Azure tools makes it an essential part of modern cloud ecosystems.
