Oracle Looks to AI and Microsoft Partnership to Lift Cloud Business.

Oracle is adding artificial intelligence (AI) features to its flagship database software in an effort to boost its cloud-computing platform. The new AI services allow businesses to search their private data using plain English queries, rather than specialized code. Oracle's cloud platform currently has a small market share compared to Amazon and Microsoft, but the company hopes that increased usage of its database software with the new AI services will lead to increased usage of its cloud. Oracle has also been expanding its data center capacity to meet growing demand. [Extracted from the article]
