Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming research, teaching, and operations. With AI-native platforms like Oracle Database 23ai—and innovations shaping Oracle Database 26ai—data infrastructure is evolving from passive storage to active participation in intelligent workflows. These platforms embed AI directly in the database, enabling more efficient, secure, and scalable development and governance. At the same time, Oracle’s multi-cloud capabilities allow AI workloads to run across cloud environments while maintaining consistent performance, security, and data governance—supporting flexible, distributed innovation. A new wave of agentic AI is emerging, with systems that act autonomously, reason, and orchestrate workflows across complex environments. As these agents increasingly access sensitive systems and data, establishing secure, accountable identities becomes critical. This session explores agentic AI and emphasizes the need for strong identity frameworks grounded in least-privilege access, auditability, and integration with federated identity and role-based access control models to ensure responsible, scalable AI adoption.
