In episode 113 of the Acceleration Economy Minute, I share my top takeaways after attending Oracle CloudWorld, with generative AI being the biggest buzz of the week.
Highlights
00:28 — Larry Ellison’s powerful keynote had a clear, immutable message: Generative AI is going to change everything. If any justification was needed around the hype of generative AI, Ellison’s passion and faith demonstrated in this keynote was it.
01:15 — Oracle is rolling out generative AI capabilities across its enterprise and industry applications, cloud infrastructure, database, and more. The company’s approach to this technology really stood out to me. It’s improving its technology’s core functions to support the efficiency and cost-effectiveness advancements that customers need to build models.
01:50 — Cohere was selected as a partner to support Oracle’s AI efforts; this is an outstanding move.
02:10 — Oracle has clearly stated its intent to keep moving forward and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with generative AI — and it’s not taking this responsibility lightly. Putting guardrails in from the beginning has enabled massive productivity gains in the secure ecosystem.
02:36 — At CloudWorld this year, Oracle demonstrated how its capabilities not only support customers on their journeys with generative AI but also how it can become a leader in terms of providing an end-to-end platform for generative AI development.
