Can't Sign Up For OpenAI

Greg Fox 0

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?

It appears that there really isn't a solution for individuals. I want to start working towards the Azure AI Engineer Associate certification, but there appears to be quite a bit of OpenAI material that is required. I am concerned that it will be difficult to prepare if I can't use the Azure OpenAI Service as an individual.

You mentioned the free OpenAI Public AI, but I wasn't sure if there was a way to use Azure OpenAI Service with this.

@Greg Fox Thanks for getting back. I hear you and I understand your concern.

To limit risk of misuse, Azure OpenAI currently requires registration and is only available to managed customers and partners committing for using the service responsibly (both for experimentation or production).

Create an Azure Subscription. You can activate a free trial and if you are a student you can get additional benefits.

However, for individuals with personal accounts the access to Azure Open AI is not open.

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.
