Hello, i am trying to get access to the Face API and person models for my Masters dissertation, I have tried several times completing the form but I have had no reply. Is there someone else I can contact? I am running short on time.

    Hi Gemma Walker

    Got acknowledged from product group earlier that they are prioritizing significant usage.

    Internal conversation suggests they are not yet approving academic research requests.

    We would need an organization id verified with address to use Face API as of now.

    Thank you

    Hi Gemma Walker,

    I understand you are attempting to access the Azure AI Face service for your master's dissertation. I have provided some guidance below to help you along the way.

    • Face service access is limited based on eligibility and usage criteria in order to support our Responsible AI principles. Face service is only available to Microsoft managed customers and partners.
    • Use the Face Recognition intake form to apply for access. For more information, see the Face limited access page.
    • If you are still experiencing issues, I recommend raising a ticket in the Azure portal.

    Let me know how this goes, or if I can offer any further guidance.

      I am using it for academic reasons and so it advises me not to use the form?
