Can't Sign Up For OpenAI

Question

I just finished the Azure AI Fundamentals certification, but I had to wing it for any questions dealing with OpenAI.

I would like to move on to another AI certification, however, I am concerned that not being able to sign up for OpenAI will make it difficult.

How is an individual supposed to participate, when you are required to work for a pre-approved company or school in order to access the Azure OpenAI Service?

Answer 1

@Greg Fox Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

.

If you need an Azure subscription with access enabled for the Azure OpenAI service, you need to fill and submit this form.

.

I understand your concern. Azure OpenAI service is still not open for personal email accounts (Example: @[gmail.com], @[yahoo.com], @[hotmail.com], etc.)  as the users need to fall under the criteria as defined in this form and the request will be approved after reviewing all details submitted in the form.

.

Workaround:

If your access request to Azure OpenAI service doesn't match the acceptance criteria, you can use OpenAI public API instead.

.

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.

Answer 2

Signing up for Azure OpenAI Service with a personal email account (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo) is not currently possible. Access is restricted to individuals affiliated with pre-approved companies, schools, or organizations that meet specific criteria.

If your work or studies fall under the criteria, you can fill out the form provided by navba-MSF Approval is based on the information submitted.

While OpenAI access might be restricted, your Azure AI Fundamentals certification provides a solid foundation for exploring other AI certifications.ny state of health
