Blink and you might have missed it but during Microsoft Inspire, and as of the 18th of July, Azure Cognitive Services and Applied AI are now collectively known as Azure AI Services.
You can see the renaming for all existing products in the table below:
| Current Product Names | Updated Names |
| Azure AI Content Safety | Azure AI Content Safety |
| Azure Form Recognizer | Azure AI Document Intelligence |
| Translator | Azure AI Translator |
| Metrics Advisor | Azure AI Metrics Advisor |
| Immersive Reader | Azure AI Immersive Reader |
| Cognitive Service for Speech | Azure AI Speech |
| Custom Vision | Azure AI Custom Vision |
| Anomaly Detector | Azure AI Anomaly Detector |
| Cognitive Service for Vision | Azure AI Vision |
| Personalizer | Azure AI Personalizer |
| Cognitive Service for Language | Azure AI Language |
| Azure Bot Service | Azure AI Bot Service |
| Azure Video Indexer | Azure AI Video Indexer |
| Azure OpenAI Service | Azure OpenAI Service |
| Azure Cognitive Search | Azure Cognitive Search |
The only services excluded from the renaming are: Azure OpenAI Service and Azure Cognitive Search. These keep their existing name.
A unified naming convention makes sense to me. The Applied AI category was initially confusing for some people.
