AI-901 (ex AI-900) Azure AI Fundamentals: 2026 Exam Prep

Build and evaluate real AI solutions in Microsoft Foundry — the skill AI-901 weights at 55–60% — then lock in the AI concepts and Responsible AI objectives that make up the rest. AI-901 replaced AI-900 on 30 June 2026; this course is written to the live blueprint, not the retired one. 9 lectures (2.5 h), 2 quizzes and 2 timed practice exams mirroring the 60-minute, 700/1000 format. Next step on the path: AI-103 (Azure AI Apps & Agents).

If you were studying for AI-900, this is the course to switch to — every lecture and question maps to the AI-901 blueprint.

What you'll be able to do after this course:

- Explain the core AI workloads (vision, NLP, speech, document intelligence, generative AI, agents) the way the exam expects

- Apply Microsoft's Responsible AI principles to scenario questions

- Navigate Microsoft Foundry and pick the right service for a given business problem

- Recognize the question patterns that separate AI-901 from the old AI-900

- Manage the 60-minute exam clock and the 700/1000 passing bar with confidence

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
