Microsoft AI-102 Replacement Status

AI-102 is the older Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate exam route for developing AI solutions in Azure. Microsoft Learn retirement materials now point learners from the AI-102 training route toward AI-103, the newer Azure AI apps-and-agents route.

This route has been replaced or renamed. Use this page to choose the current equivalent and avoid starting the wrong Microsoft AI path.

Current equivalent

Why the route changed

Microsoft’s newer AI route emphasizes production AI apps and agents, Microsoft Foundry, generative AI, RAG, multimodal workflows, responsible AI controls, monitoring, and Python-backed implementation. That is a more current fit for candidates building AI apps and agentic systems than a generic older Azure AI Engineer route.
