Oracle’s Answer to the SaaS Slump: Free AI Features

Investors’ fears that AI could dampen spending on traditional business applications have wreaked havoc on the shares of companies like Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday. But Oracle executives this week cited how businesses can use Oracle’s AI tools as evidence that Oracle is immune to the so-called Saaspocalpyse. 

On an earnings call earlier this week, executive chair and CTO Larry Ellison said hospitals can add AI agents to their Oracle applications to automate many of the tasks that human staff perform, from training nurses and matching radiologists with patients to dealing with federal regulators and pharmaceutical companies.
