Welcome back to the Cognixia Podcast! This week, we explore one of the most exciting intersections in technology today - artificial intelligence in Microsoft Power BI. Power BI has already become a cornerstone of business intelligence, empowering over 5 million users worldwide to visualize data and make smarter decisions. But with AI integration, it’s entering an entirely new era - one where data analysis becomes faster, smarter, and more intuitive than ever before.
Traditional Power BI workflows have long relied on time-intensive manual processes - preparing datasets, writing DAX formulas, and maintaining complex models. While powerful, these approaches often create bottlenecks and limit how quickly organizations can act on insights. Enter AI-powered enhancements that are reshaping every stage of the BI lifecycle.
In this episode, we break down how AI is:
Democratizing analytics through natural language queries - ask Power BI a plain-English question like “Show me quarterly sales trends by product category” and get instant, accurate visualizations.
Accelerating insights with the Key Influencers visual, which automatically identifies the factors driving critical business outcomes.
Optimizing data modeling by suggesting schemas, detecting anomalies, and predicting refresh failures before they happen.
Enhancing predictive power via seamless integration with Azure Machine Learning, enabling real-time forecasting, anomaly detection, and embedded ML models in reports.
We also explore the emerging role of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in Power BI environments. Imagine an AI assistant that fully understands your organization’s data models, business rules, and reporting needs. With MCP servers, AI could generate complex DAX calculations, recommend optimizations, and maintain consistency across teams - fundamentally transforming development workflows.
The evolution doesn’t stop at automation. AI is pushing Power BI toward conversational analytics, where users interact with data through natural dialogues. No coding, no formulas - just intuitive, business-friendly conversations that lead directly to actionable insights.
And it goes deeper: AI can proactively surface trends, correlations, and anomalies you didn’t even think to ask about. It can turn raw insights into executive-ready narratives with automated storytelling features, bridging the gap between technical detail and business strategy.
Of course, adopting AI in Power BI isn’t just about technology. Organizations must address data quality, governance, security, and change management to fully realize its potential. Hybrid approaches - where AI automation complements human expertise - will remain critical to success.
Looking ahead, the future promises even more: autonomous data prep, multimodal analytics that integrate text, images, and audio, and real-time AI-driven decision-making. In this vision, Power BI becomes more than a reporting tool - it evolves into a proactive, predictive, and conversational intelligence platform.
Tune in as we unpack how AI is revolutionizing business intelligence, what it means for organizations worldwide, and how you can prepare to harness this transformation.
Because in the new world of BI, those who adapt first won’t just keep up - they’ll lead.
In this game-changing episode of the Cognixia Podcast, we unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in today’s tech-driven business world - the difference between “Doing AI” and “Using AI.” It’s a distinction that’s shaping boardroom debates, technology budgets, and competitive landscapes across every industry. Get it wrong, and you risk pouring millions into projects that drain resources without delivering results. Get it right, and you position your organization for lasting success in the AI-powered economy.
“Doing AI” means building artificial intelligence from the ground up - designing neural networks, training models, and pushing the boundaries of what AI can do. It’s the domain of research labs, tech giants, and companies whose competitive advantage depends on proprietary capabilities. “Using AI,” on the other hand, means leveraging existing AI platforms, tools, and APIs to solve business problems quickly and cost-effectively - without reinventing the wheel.
Through real-world examples from healthcare, finance, manufacturing, retail, and tech, we show how this choice plays out in practice. A pharmaceutical company developing unique drug discovery algorithms may need to do AI. A hospital optimizing patient scheduling can thrive by using AI tools already available. An investment bank may require custom trading algorithms, while a community bank gains more value from proven fraud detection solutions.
We explore the radically different investment profiles, timelines, and talent needs of each approach, as well as the risks of getting them wrong. You’ll learn how AI-as-a-Service is leveling the playing field for companies to access world-class capabilities, and why the next 2-3 years will be critical for aligning your strategy.
Whether you’re a startup founder, CIO, business leader, or just curious about how AI is shaping the future, this episode will equip you with the clarity to decide whether your organization should be building AI - or buying it. The answer could determine your competitive future.
