| 0:00.0 | AI might be the most important innovation ever. It's storming every industry with literally billions being invested, so buckle up. |
| 0:07.9 | 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? |
| 0:15.7 | Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. |
| 0:21.4 | OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database and application development, with AI |
| 0:26.4 | embedded across it all. And Oracle's offering cloud helps you address your requirements for location, |
| 0:31.4 | access and data residency. OCI provides blazing fast speeds for AI's demanding workloads, |

| 1:39.7 | 90 degrees Fahrenheit. So we're creeping up past 33 degrees Celsius. It is hot. It is humid. It is clear |
| 1:47.1 | skies out there, which means that this time tomorrow, John, it's going to be even hotter. In fact, |
