Introducing AI solutions
AI has been on everyone's lips for many years now. In this section, we will review the most important AI concepts and their corresponding Azure services.
Figure 6.14 is a summary of Azure's AI landscape:

We say this is a summary because Azure Cognitive Services (alone) can be regrouped into about 20 different services. We already talked about most of these services, but this time we will take the AI-specific angle. Let's start with the machine learning and deep learning options.
Understanding machine learning and deep learning
The services depicted in Figure 6.15 are quite close, in terms of capabilities, and they are all intermingled. This makes it very hard to position them for a specific use case:

The only no-brainer is Azure Cognitive Services (ACS), a full set of pre-built AI capabilities...
