This excerpt from Larry Ellison’s Oracle CloudWorld 2024 keynote highlights two key areas: the beginning of the multi-cloud era and the crucial role of AI in improving security. Ellison emphasizes that, like in the early days of open systems, customers want the flexibility to use technology from various vendors, specifically mentioning a new collaboration where Oracle’s database service will be directly integrated into AWS data centers to address latency and ease-of-use issues in multi-cloud environments.
He then shifts focus to security, arguing that artificial intelligence is essential for defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, outlining how Oracle is leveraging AI to create autonomous systems for data, application, user identity, and network security.
