Thank you for organizing this training. I have completed the first learning path on Microsoft Learn "Fundamentals - Understand the AI pair programmer":

• I have learned lots of new things.
• The practice exercise with Copilot in Codespaces is awesome.
• Upon completing each module in the learning path, I have received a badge on my MS Learn profile. Very encouraging.

I am heading for the second learning path "Accelerate app development by using GitHub Copilot".

That's fantastic! You're already ahead of the game.

[juanlujand]

Interesting learning course beginning and main topic to summarize that we need to have in mind:

"Their approach is guided by six core principles: fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability.

Their goal is to ensure that AI systems prioritize people and uphold fundamental values like fairness, reliability, and transparency."

AI systems are created by humans and we need to prioritize core principles, people and ethics!

Not sure I understand this correctly - "We’re also awarding certification exam vouchers to participants who actively engage in our prep discussions". Prep discussions where in which forum ? Here on this github page or where ?
