Also in June this year, the AI Edition of the Data Science Summit is coming. And this time I’m presenting two sessions.
The first session is Using AI Features in SQL Server, and I’ll be discussing the AI features that have been added to SQL Server in 2025.
Use the code DSSAI26SP20 to get 20% off Standard or Exec passes.
See you at DSS!

I’ve previously written about how I like to always have a certification exam that I’m working on.
Recently, I saw the new AB-731 exam for AI Transformation Leader. It’s the only exam required for the Microsoft Certified: AI Transformation Leader certification.
What interested me is that it was one of the first exams that are now designed to target the business people who are involved in making decisions within an organization. In this case, it’s about deciding how AI might impact the organization, how to plan and carry out the transformation, and which tools to use.

Do you want to start working with AI-related features in SQL Server 2025?
Our new course might be just what you need:
https://sqldownunder.com/courses/aif_modules
As these features are relatively new, the focus of this course is on design and architecture decisions that remain valid, even as individual features, syntax, and external AI services evolve. It does not aim to turn SQL Server into an AI platform, nor does it attempt to teach model training, data science, or vendor-specific AI tooling.
