Microsoft to showcase cutting-edge AI technologies at NVIDIA GTC

February 26, 2024

Welcome to the new era, where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming nearly every industry and rapidly changing what applications look like, how they’re designed and built, and how they’re delivered.

Businesses worldwide are working to apply AI in their products and operations to increase customer engagement, productivity, and efficiency. But many companies are unclear where and how to best apply AI in their business. To accelerate AI development and integration, organizations need a trusted partner that can help them determine their AI strategy and provide comprehensive, unified services, infrastructure and tools specifically designed for AI.

Companies of all sizes are turning to Microsoft for innovative, secure, and responsible AI services. Continuously investing to deliver advanced AI solutions, Microsoft is committed to helping companies transform their business. Hear how Microsoft is helping organizations around the world achieve more with AI in this video.

The latest AI solutions

Microsoft recently unveiled yet another round of AI innovations, from AI services to silicon, that can help any business accelerate AI production – whether adding intelligence to existing applications and processes or creating new ones from scratch.

Azure AI Studio provides an all-in-one AI platform for building, evaluating, and deploying generative AI solutions and custom copilots. Azure AI services offer pre-built cognitive services that can perform tasks like vision, speech, and decision making, to custom machine learning solutions that can be built and deployed using Azure Machine Learning. And Azure OpenAI Service offers industry-leading coding and language AI models and the latest advancements in generative AI for content creation, conversation AI and data grounding.

Microsoft Copilot and Copilot for Azure transform productivity and business processes, from office workers and front-line workers to developers and IT professionals.

Azure supercomputing infrastructure provides the latest AI-optimized silicon featuring new Microsoft custom-designed chips: Azure Maia and Azure Cobalt, NVIDIA® H100 and H200 Tensor Core GPU-optimized Azure virtual machines, and NVIDA AI foundry service on Microsoft Azure.
