Oracle AI World NYC 2026 - the Halftime Recap with Rebecca Wettemann

In this brief halftime recap from Oracle AI World NYC 2026, host John Reed chats with analyst Rebecca Wettemann about Oracle's enterprise AI strategy. She highlights Oracle's strength in unifying data across its database, OCI, and Fusion applications, which enables secure, low‑hallucination AI agents that can draw on finance, HR, CX, and supply‑chain data. Wettemann also notes that partners are choosing Oracle for agent development because its integrated platform reduces the complexity of stitching together disparate AI services, and she calls for Oracle to emphasize the challenges of building agents on generic foundation models. The conversation underscores Oracle's focus on data governance, compliance, and delivering end‑to‑end value for customers rather than chasing headline‑grabbing hype.
