"The striking thing is that the most impressive additions to the Oracle portfolio use as little AI as possible. That could well prove to be a formula for success. A cynic would say that what Oracle is announcing at AI World in Las Vegas is exactly what the competition has already presented. Here, too, agentic AI plays a leading role and the importance of business data being available for AI usage is reiterated."
"However, this obscures the fact that Oracle has a fairly unique story to tell, with its traditionel strengths in data management coming to the fore in a new context. These strengths start with the renamed Oracle AI Database 26ai (yes, two AIs in one title), but extend to every cloud, the integration of best practices, and a smart interpretation of familiar third-party technologies."
Oracle emphasizes AI as a means rather than an end, adding AI features sparingly and building on existing database capabilities. Oracle positions itself as the only hyperscaler that is truly verticalized and able to provide data, infrastructure, applications, and trust (security) required to build AI. Oracle AI Database 26ai evolves from Database 23ai, serves as a fully compatible replacement installable with the October patch, and carries forward foundational features that also work on older releases such as 19c. 26ai introduces a new data type: AI Vectors. The company stresses cross-cloud integration, best practices, and smart use of third-party technologies.
