Wrapping up Oracle AI World

October 16, 2025

1–2 minutes

Its been a great few days at Oracle AI World! Of course, there is lots of buzz around AI but it was great to still see the high level of interest in the core database tech.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to my session — or dropped in at the database booth when I was there. Being from Perth, Australia a lot of my customer interactions are virtual, so its great to be face to face with people who are passionate about Oracle database technology.

And of course, the big news is that Oracle Database 23ai is now Oracle AI Database 26ai. Get all the details on that here.

I’m already looking forward to next year — and to seeing where all this AI tech takes us.

My 23ai session

but lets face it – we all know the real highlight of the event. The puppy playpen!!!

Hi Connor,

While browsing through the AI world catalog online, I came across your talk titled ‘Vexed on Vectors?’ & liked it very much going through the sliders available on the website. But sadly, there was no video recording available, which would’ve been more helpful. If you have given talk on similar topic elsewhere & have recordings available, that you could share, it would be very helpful!

Thanks & regards,

Aswini
