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,

many of the dialogues, not all of them, because, you know, of course, this is a lot of stuff.

Plato has a vast amount and Aristotle has also about the same vast amount

in English that we know about. So we're going to try to compact it as best we can. We're going to

get into it. This is going to be very difficult. So again, like we did last time, right now in your

questions. And I'll be happy to answer any of them when we get to the end. There's

a lot fewer slides this time, but that's not because of a lack of material. That's because we're
