Tech Talk: Oracle Database 23ai brings AI to the database
Speaker: Sean Stacey (Oracle)
Abstract: Oracle brings the power of AI to the database with Oracle Database 23ai. By now, you've probably heard about Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search, which essentially transforms the Oracle Database into a powerful, best-in-class Vector Database. But there are many more new innovations introduced to support all manner of AI workloads, and best of all, Oracle makes it easy to start using these tools without having to learn any new programming languages or frameworks. All of these AI innovations can be used today without any additional installation necessary, and can be accessed using your favorite code editor or IDE. Perhaps there's a problem you are trying to solve with AI today and don't know where to start? This is the session to get you there. In this session, you will learn how to:
- Load embedding models into the Oracle database.
- Run AI Vector Search in your database using regular SQL
- Build Agentic RAG operations with Oracle 23ai.
- Accelerate your AI similarity search operations with HNSW and IVF_Flat indexes.
- Communicate with your database using natural language prompts with MCP.
- Use AI to generate synthetic table data.
- Use AI for document summarization inside the Oracle database.

More upcoming sessions:

• Aug 28th: AI Webinar with Oracle - Reap the benefits of RAG without the hassle
• Sep 3rd: AI Webinar with Docker - Local AI Development
• Sep 4th: AI Webinar with Oracle (Ep 5) - Use Knowledge graphs to transparently apply AI
• Sep 23rd: AI Webinar with Oracle (Ep 6) - MongoDB to Oracle – Switch and Use AI on Your Data and App

Tech Talk: Reap the benefits of RAG without the hassle
Speaker: Mark Hornick (Oracle)
Abstract: Generative AI-enhanced applications are becoming essential for today's businesses. The ability to ask natural language questions and get back relevant, helpful responses – based on documents you trust - is increasingly simply expected. For example, customer service chatbots aid customers and operators alike in searching resolution logs and product documentation to draft targeted responses to customer issues. But achieving this can seem like a daunting task. Select AI on Oracle Autonomous Database provides a streamlined interface that automates enabling retrieval augmented generation (RAG) – from building the vector index to the overall RAG workflow. It even automates the addition of new content to your vector index. Select AI RAG combines large language models (LLMs) and semantic similarity search (aka AI vector search) from convenient SQL and PL/SQL interfaces so you can quickly develop generative AI-enhanced applications. Join us for this step-by-step demonstration of going from raw documents to RAG-enabled responses to natural language questions and take your applications to the next level.
