🎦 Empowering Data Integration and Analytics with AI in Microsoft Fabric
🗣️Damian Widera

During the session, I would like to demonstrate how AI can support teams in data integration processes (ETL mechanisms), processing, and the development and use of analytical models. I will introduce the new Microsoft Fabric analytics platform and showcase how its built-in AI capabilities can help acquire and generate new insights and use them in the inference process.
