Breaking Down the Walls: AI, Cloud, and the Future of Enterprise Tech

The pace of AI and cloud innovation is relentless—but are enterprises keeping up? In this episode, Jason Rees, SVP Technology and Cloud Infrastructure at Oracle, joins Tech Talks to discuss the shift from AI experimentation to execution. With Oracle’s AI Agent Studio, businesses now have the tools to build, extend, and deploy AI-driven automation at scale.

But what does this mean for vendor choice, interoperability, and future-proofing enterprise tech?
From multi-cloud flexibility to breaking down walled gardens, Jason shares insights on how enterprises can maximise AI’s potential without locking themselves into rigid ecosystems. With a $5 billion UK investment in cloud infrastructure, Oracle is doubling down on AI’s role in digital transformation. But as businesses wrestle with legacy systems and data challenges, the real question is: how do you get started?
