Why Oracle AI Database?

AI designed for data

AI is natively architected into Oracle AI Database and SQL, making it simpler, faster, more secure, and more trustworthy, while also enabling AI that spans all your business data.

No need for separate AI specialized databases, pipelines, or infrastructure. This reduces architectural and data sprawl, streamlines operations, lowers TCO, and reduces maintenance.

Explore key AI designed for data features

End data chaos

Oracle AI Database unifies all major data models and workloads in a single converged engine, so you can eliminate data sprawl and reduce complexity.

With one platform, organizations gain more efficient operations, consistent security, and scalable performance—without the friction of managing multiple systems.

End data lock-in

No lock-in. You choose the deployment cloud or platform and the AI model or framework, and you run using open standard languages, APIs, and data formats.

Run on any leading cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. Build using open standard SQL, REST, JavaScript, and Apache Iceberg for future-proof portability.
