What a game changer! Oracle and Google Cloud have announced their groundbreaking partnership, allowing customers to combine the power of our #OCI with Google's Cloud technologies. This enables customers to accelerate their application migrations and modernisation. With the Australian East (Sydney) and Southeast (Melbourne) regions among the first of the 11 global regions to go live — our customers can start the onboarding process today and deploy workloads across #OCI and Google Cloud regions without incurring cross-cloud data transfer charges. And that’s not all… we’ll also be going to market together later this year, with the roll out of Oracle Database@Google Cloud — offering the highest level of Oracle database and network performance, combined with the feature and pricing parity of #OCI. https://lnkd.in/gZVvwkRM

A nice nudge here from Richard Owen of Unisys on the risks of BYO AI. Here are some key takeaways, personalised with an Aussie perspective: - Embracing AI Responsibly: AI is revolutionising the way we operate, but it comes with its risks. To navigate these effectively, businesses need to cultivate a culture that balances innovation with responsibility. Data Quality and Integration: Ensuring high-quality data is crucial. Australian startups are leveraging AI to refine data collection and integration, enhancing decision-making processes. - Human-AI Collaboration: AI should augment human capabilities, not replace them. For example, Aussie companies like Qantas are using AI to optimise flight operations while still relying on human expertise for critical decision-making. - Ethics and Governance: Maintaining robust ethical standards is essential. Australian firms are setting the bar by implementing strict AI governance frameworks, ensuring transparency and accountability in AI deployment. - Continuous Learning: Staying updated with AI advancements is key. Encourage a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, similar to how Australian universities are integrating AI courses to prepare the next generation of innovators. Real-World Impact? - Healthcare: AI is transforming patient care with predictive analytics and personalised treatment plans. - Finance: Banks like ANZ are using AI to detect fraud and enhance customer service. - Retail: Retailers are employing AI for better inventory management and personalised shopping experiences. By fostering a "Bring Your Own AI" culture, we can harness AI's potential while mitigating risks, driving both innovation and ethical practices. Let's lead the way in AI adoption right here in Australia! 🌏 #Innovation #AI #Ethics #DataQuality #Australia Feel free to reach out to discuss past, present, or future activities.
