Oracle Adds AI, Machine Learning Features to Its Cloud Services

Today's topics include Oracle adding artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to its software, and Pulumi launching a Team Edition of its infrastructure-as-code platform. Oracle on Oct. 22 at its annual OpenWorld conference in San Francisco revealed some new artificial intelligence updates to Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud and Enterprise Performance Management Cloud. Like past improvements, these all extract data-driven insights from enterprise data stores, helping companies capitalize on new market opportunities and increase profitability. However, according to Oracle Senior Vice President of Applications Product Development Steve Miranda, "The main news [Oracle is] announcing is happening in three main categories. First … machine learning is going across the board. You'll see more bots in [Oracle's] interfaces, for one thing. This will allow you to become more conversational and interactive with the apps."
