The eAppSys team is back from Las Vegas and we wanted to share our learnings from the week gone by.
When Oracle rebranded its annual CloudWorld event to AI World, it wasn’t just a name change — it was a statement of intent.
The message from Las Vegas this October was unmistakable: AI is now the foundation of everything Oracle builds — across infrastructure, data, and applications.
Here’s a quick look at what stood out.
AI Built In — Not Bolted On
Oracle announced sweeping upgrades across its stack — AI-native databases, an AI Data Platform, and 600+ AI agents embedded within Fusion Applications.
The new Oracle AI Database 26AI brings vector search, in-database AI agents, and open model support — making it possible to reason directly with enterprise data, not just query it.
Meanwhile, the AI Data Platform connects business data, generative models, and workflows — giving developers and business users a unified way to build agentic applications without complex integrations.
Fusion Gets Smarter
AI took center stage in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications — ERP, HCM, SCM, and CX — now enriched with hundreds of pre-built agents that automate tasks like invoice processing, talent insights, and predictive supply chain actions.
An expanded AI Agent Studio and a new Marketplacelet customers and partners build and deploy their own agents inside Oracle Fusion — all secured and managed within Oracle’s native framework.
Infrastructure at Hyperscale
Larry Ellison announced the world’s largest AI supercomputer — 800,000 NVIDIA GPUs delivering 16 zettaFLOPS of compute — built as part of Oracle’s $30 billion partnership with OpenAI.
Add to that new AMD MI300 GPU clusters, a deeper collaboration with NVIDIA on sovereign AI clouds, and a multicloud expansion with Microsoft, Google, and AWS, and it’s clear Oracle is positioning OCI as the go-to infrastructure for enterprise AI.
Real-World Impact
The most powerful stories came from Oracle’s customers:
- Exelon improving grid reliability with predictive AI.
- Marriott using AI assistants to personalise guest experiences.
- Avis empowering staff with natural-language data queries.
- Biofy Technologies using AI to identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hours instead of days.
- Choctaw Nationpreserving its native language using OCI’s generative AI models.
Across every story, the theme was clear — AI is augmenting human capability, not replacing it.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Momentum
Oracle is expanding its reach through partnerships — from OpenAI and NVIDIA to consulting giants like Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, and PwC.
Together, these partners are investing over $1.5 billion to train thousands of consultants and deliver 100+ industry AI use cases on Oracle Cloud — ensuring that the technology is backed by real implementation depth.
Responsible, Trusted AI
Oracle’s tone throughout was pragmatic and enterprise-centric: AI that’s secure, governed, and trustworthy.
With features like quantum-safe encryption, built-in data masking, and regional AI deployments for data sovereignty, Oracle is aiming to lead the conversation on responsible AI adoption at scale.
The Takeaway
From AI-native databases to agent-driven applications and massive compute infrastructure — Oracle is re-architecting its business around AI.
As Larry Ellison put it, “We’re entering a new era where AI helps us solve problems we couldn’t solve on our own.”
The question now is not if Oracle’s AI vision will shape the enterprise landscape — but how fast customers embrace it.
