AI visuals
Artificial intelligence (AI) visuals incorporate aspects of machine learning such as pattern recognition and natural (human) language parsing. Machine learning is a form of AI that uses statistical models and algorithms to analyze and make inferences from complex data patterns.
In the past, the application of AI or machine learning required a data scientist, but Microsoft has made tremendous strides in democratizing machine learning within Power BI both with the Auto ML features of dataflows in the Power BI service and AI visuals within Power BI Desktop. The use of the advanced capabilities of AI visuals can add analytical punch to many reports.
