Microsoft and Oracle Partner to Enhance AI
Microsoft partnered with Oracle to enhance its AI offerings for the Bing chatbot. By using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Bing’s search experience will be improved.
Oracle’s OCI Integrated with Microsoft’s AI Infrastructure
Karan Batta, senior vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, expressed optimism about the partnership. He highlighted that generative AI is a significant technological leap and Oracle aims to help Microsoft and other businesses build and run new products. This collaboration will bring AI technology closer to users globally.
Microsoft is confident that this partnership will improve the search experience for users. The global head of marketing for Search & AI at Microsoft, Divya Kumar, emphasized that the collaboration with Oracle and use of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure along with Microsoft Azure AI infrastructure will enhance search experiences and speed up search results.
Microsoft’s Upgrade in Explosive AI Space and Competition
As one of the first to integrate a generative AI chatbot into its search engine, Microsoft has faced increasing competition from other chatbots like ChatGPT and Elon Musk’s xAI. To remain competitive in the rapidly growing AI space, Microsoft’s partnership with Oracle will play a crucial role.
To keep up with its position in AI services, Microsoft requires more computing resources, and this partnership with Oracle is strategically beneficial due to Oracle’s availability of Nvidia A100s and H100 GPUs for rent. The collaboration takes advantage of the Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure, allowing services running in Azure to interact with resources in OCI.
Hot Take: Collaboration Strengthens Tech-Savvy AI World
