Oracle focused on AI, machine learning

The long view on telecommunications networking is automation of management and operational processes. This is highlighted with the advent of 5G, which is designed to provide connectivity for billions of new devices with a wide range of service requirements–the sheer complexity of future networks will command automation. For enterprise and industrial network users, automation is also a long-term goal given the business value created by lowering operational expenditures as a function of added efficiency but also lowered human costs. The path from the current status quo to this automated future isn't necessarily clearly charted, but there's consensus around the key roles of machine learning and artificial intelligence in creating automated network environments. With its global scale and long history in the business of providing cloud computing services, Oracle has dealings with both massive global enterprises and telecommunications service providers.
