AI-901 Azure AI Fundamentals Exam Guide (2026) [eBook: PDF + EPUB]

AI-900 is gone. Its replacement, AI-901: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals, is a different exam. More than half of it (55–60%) now tests how AI solutions are built in Microsoft Foundry.

This guide follows the official AI-901 skills outline (as of April 15, 2026) and explains every topic in plain language:

• The exam: skills measured, weights, scoring (700 to pass) and how AI-901 differs from AI-900
• Responsible AI: the six principles, with a keyword cheat sheet for scenario questions
• How generative models work: tokens, context window, temperature, embeddings, multimodal models, choosing and deploying the right model
• AI workloads: generative and agentic AI, text analysis, speech, computer vision and information extraction
• Microsoft Foundry essentials: resources, projects, the portal, SDKs and keyless security with Microsoft Entra ID
• Generative AI apps and agents: system vs user prompts, prompt agents and hosted agents, define–connect–test–deploy, RAG and grounding, evaluation and observability
• Azure Speech, vision and image generation in Foundry
• Azure Content Understanding: analyzers, extract/classify/generate, confidence scores and grounding
• "Exam trap" boxes in every chapter
• 65 original practice questions with an answer key and an explanation for every answer
• A two-week study plan, a glossary and official resources
