Microsoft Launches AI Odyssey Initiative

Microsoft recently launched the AI Odyssey initiative to train 1 Lakh Developers in India.

Microsoft, intending to skill 100,000 developers in India in the latest AI technologies and tools, has launched a new artificial intelligence initiative. The program, called AI Odyssey, will be conducted through January. The program offers a comprehensive learning experience that helps developers acquire and demonstrate the relevant skills needed to execute critical projects using AI technologies that align with business goals and outcomes. The program has two levels that participants must complete by 31 January 2024. 

Irina Ghose, Managing Director, Microsoft India, said, “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.”

There are two courses that participants need to take to qualify for the program. The first course instructs individuals on utilising Azure AI services to develop and implement AI solutions across various situations. The second course involves participants showcasing their AI proficiency through the successful completion of an online assessment, coupled with interactive lab assignments.
