AI might be the most important innovation ever. It's storming every industry with literally billions being invested, so buckle up.

The problem is that AI needs the right data and a lot of speed and processing power, so how do you compete without cost spiraling out of control?

Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI.

OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database and application development,

with AI embedded across it all.

And Oracle's offering cloud helps you address your requirements for location, access and data

residency.

OCI provides blazing fast speeds for AI's demanding workloads, and in the cloud when you pay by the minute, speed matters.

And of course, nobody does data better than Oracle.

If you want OCI to help you do more and spend less,

like Uber, the Premier League and Oracle Red Bull Racing,

take a free test drive at oracle.com slash bandwidth.

That's oracle.com slash bandwidth.acle.com slash bandwidth. That's oracle.com slash bandwidth.

Awesome idea, but it's never going to happen. No, don't get me wrong. It sure is a nice thought.

But having worked as a homicide detective for almost 15 years, I can tell you firsthand that

crime doesn't take a break around Christmas. People will always be people, no matter what day

of the year it is, and people cheat each other, rob each other, and kill each other, even on what's

supposed to be the most peaceful day of the year.
