New Oracle AI Data Platform Automatically Generates Enterprise Ontology
Management commentary
Virtually all of Oracle’s enterprise customers want to use AI to reason on their private data and to use AI agents to automate their business processes.
To do this efficiently, customers must first precisely describe the semantic details of their private data and business processes in an Enterprise Ontology (a model defining the core concepts, relationships and rules of the business).
Palantir pioneered the use of AI on private enterprise data by carefully crafting Enterprise Ontologies for each of their customers.
The new Oracle AI Data Platform fully automates the creation of Enterprise Ontologies—making it inexpensive, easy and fast and for any enterprise to use the most advanced AI models to reason on their private data and automate their business processes.
Outlook
New 100% Agentic AI Health Care Management System for Hospitals and Clinics
Management commentary
Oracle’s AI Health Care Management and Electronic Health Records system is an all-new 100% Agentic system made up of a collection of AI agents for every medical specialty from General Medicine to Oncology to Radiology.
These specialized AI agents assist medical professionals in diagnosing and treating their patients—leading to better quality of care and better outcomes.
AI is on the brink of making quality healthcare accessible to more people throughout the world.
