If you want a bit more information on Intelligent Services, Auto generated Alt Text and a few new things coming, here is a link to my session at Microsoft Ignite:

In the Office 365 desktop apps, when you add an image you get a Pane to the right of the document with some positioning and cropping options, there is also a button to generate Alt Text if you have this setting turned off, but if you didn't turn it off, Alt text will be provided with the disclaimer that it is machine generated (until you edit it and remove that text).
