Oracle to Leverage AI, Machine Learning in Autonomous Cloud Platform

Oracle on Tuesday demonstrated artificial intelligence and machine learning advances in the Oracle Cloud Platform at Oracle CloudWorld in New York. Autonomous capabilities for application development, mobile and bots, integration, analytics, security and system management are scheduled for availability in the first half of this year. Oracle also demonstrated an Oracle Digital Assistant, which will provide centralized communications across CRM, ERP, HCM, custom applications and business intelligence data. The assistant will use AI to correlate data and automate user behavior. The Assistant's cross-application capability "is the differentiator," said Holger Mueller, principal analyst at Constellation Research.
