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!

[virajwathsalag]

[Yash-Kavaiya]

How can we get free forever GitHub copilots?

[thunhan]

There are 3 ways to get Copilot free:

• A verified student
• A verified teacher
• A maintainer of a popular open source project

If you're not eligible, you might want to look for other alternatives. I've tried Tabnine and Gemini Code Assist. Hope this answer helped.

[AA1-34-Ganesh]

For verification of a student :
First of all you need to apply for the github student developer pack then only you get free github copilot and verified badge like a pro, you can check out my profile I got it pro.
