Turning AI aspirations into reality with Microsoft Fabric + Azure AI

Contents

You can tap into the true potential of AI business applications only when it reasons with your enterprise data and works for your specific needs. To build such enterprise AI solutions, you need a powerful combination of two things – a sophisticated data platform and a robust AI platform.

The data platform should unify, process, and model your structured and unstructured data sitting on different clouds, databases, engines, and domains. The AI platform should help you build innovative Azure AI solutions that work on your data using advanced AI models.

Microsoft has answers to both these asks

Microsoft Fabric a one-stop-shop data platform that caters to your end-to-end data analytics needs. Fabric stitches together Microsoft’s best-of-breed data and analytics tools, including  Azure Data Factory, Synapse Data Engineering, Synapse Data Warehousing, Synapse Real-time Analytics, Power BI, Data Activator, and Purview.

By unifying the data and analytics tools, Fabric frees up data professionals from the herculean task of integrating all the individual tools while not worrying about the licensing costs.

With Shortcuts on Fabric, you can virtualize your enterprise data living across different clouds, line-of-business applications, or domains into OneLake without moving or duplicating the data. The virtual data products will cater to your specific data needs.

Fabric also simplifies working on vast amounts of data on Microsoft 365 with native integration of Microsoft Graph Data Connect.

Azure AI Studio – Microsoft’s AI platform for driving innovation with scalable generative AI applications and custom copilots using cutting-edge models and APIs. Azure AI Studio is a unified platform for building, evaluating, and deploying Azure AI solutions grounded in responsible practices. The platform comes with out-of-the-box tools that will harness open-source and frontier models to build customized AI solutions.

To help you create effective Azure AI solutions for your business, Microsoft has integrated Azure AI into Fabric.

Unlocking endless possibilities with AI business applications built on Fabric + Azure AI:

Using the AI services in Fabric, professional and citizen developers in your organization can create responsible AI applications grounded on your data estates in OneLake. Developers, even without hands-on data science or AI skills, can leverage prebuilt and customizable models and APIs to build AI solutions with faster time-to-market.

What comes out of the box with Fabric for AI innovation, you ask?

Through Azure OpenAI Services, Text Analytics, and Translator, Fabric allows you to create custom machine learning models and AI solutions with generative AI and natural language processing capabilities.

\Azure OpenAI Services: You can create generative AI experiences harnessing foundational models from OpenAI, including GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4 family, text-davinci-003, and code-cushman-002. Using these large language models, you can build generative AI applications that can generate longer outputs with better quality based on your enterprise data.

Azure Text Analytics: With Azure Text Analytics, you can create seamless NLP applications to create engaging customer experiences. Solutions built on Text Analytics can create conversational interfaces for customers with capabilities such as language detection, sentiment analysis, data annotation, and summarization.

Azure AI Translator: You can develop AI applications that understand natural language and translate text into more than 100 languages.

These services will enrich your enterprise data and allow you to tap into its full potential with prebuilt AI/ML models.
