Oracle Integrates Google's Gemini AI
Oracle and Google Cloud have expanded their partnership to offer customers access to Google's most advanced AI models, starting with Gemini 2.5, via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI service. Oracle customers can now utilize the latest Gemini models to build AI agents for a wide range of use cases including multimodal understanding, advanced coding and software development tasks, productivity and workflow automation, and research and knowledge retrieval. Oracle plans to make Google's entire range of Gemini models available via OCI Generative AI service through new integrations with Vertex AI, including cutting edge models for video, image, speech, and music generation and specialized industry models like MedLM. In the future, Oracle will collaborate with Google Cloud to make Gemini models via Vertex AI available as an option within Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, providing customers with a broader choice to enhance workflows in finance, HR, supply chain, sales, service, and marketing. Oracle customers can use their existing Oracle Universal Credits to start leveraging Google's Gemini models. 'Today, leading enterprises are using Gemini to power AI agents across a range of use cases and industries,' said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. 'Now, Oracle customers can access our leading models from within their Oracle environments, making it even easier for them to begin deploying powerful AI agents that can support developers, streamline data integration tasks, and much more.' Google's Gemini models excel in enterprise use cases thanks to their ability to ground responses in up-to-date Google Search data for accuracy, large context windows, strong encryption and data privacy policies, and leading reasoning abilities. 'Oracle has been intentional in offering model choice curated for the enterprise, spanning open and proprietary models,' said Clay Magouyrk, president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. 'The availability of Gemini on OCI Generative AI service highlights our focus on delivering powerful, secure, and cost-effective AI solutions that help customers drive innovation and achieve their business goals.' Oracle brings leading-edge AI technology close to enterprise data and prioritizes security, adaptability, and scalability. This helps customers across industries apply the right AI technologies, including generative and agentic AI, to the right business scenarios for immediate results. In addition, thousands of AI innovators are leveraging OCI's cost-effective, purpose-built AI capabilities to run the most demanding AI workloads faster. OCI bare metal GPU instances can power applications for generative AI, natural language processing, computer vision, and recommendation systems.

4 solutions for companies to overcome the hidden costs of AI
The hidden cost of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fast becoming the next frontier in corporate accountability. As the technology continues to expand rapidly, without urgent intervention, its environmental footprint could outpace the very benefits it promises. Claire Bradbury, sustainability lead for Accenture, Africa says AI is expanding rapidly, and without urgent intervention, its environmental footprint could outpace the very benefits it promises. She offers four solutions (Image supplied) AI is no longer just a tool for progress — it's fast becoming a test of responsibility. As South African companies race to harness artificial intelligence for innovation and growth, few are asking the most critical question: at what environmental cost? Behind every breakthrough model lies a surge in electricity demand, water use, and carbon emissions — realities that can no longer be dismissed as side effects. A new problem This is not a future problem. It's a now problem. In a country already grappling with grid instability and water scarcity, South African boardrooms can't afford to treat AI sustainability as an afterthought. If we're serious about building a digital future, we must ensure it's one the planet can sustain. Across the globe, generative AI is expanding at a blistering pace, bringing with it massive compute demands, energy surges, and water-intensive data centres. Our latest research estimates that by 2030, AI workloads could consume more than 600 terawatt-hours of electricity annually. That's equivalent to the energy used by hundreds of millions of homes. More troubling still, the water required to cool data centres especially in regions that already face water scarcity could reach crisis levels. In South Africa, we are already living with the twin pressures of unreliable electricity and severe water stress. And yet, local enterprises are racing to adopt AI without asking the crucial question: how sustainable is this growth? The uncomfortable reality The uncomfortable reality is that if we don't course-correct now, AI will push us closer to climate instability even as it helps us solve other problems. It's the ultimate contradiction using a future-forward tool with a 20th-century energy model. That contradiction must be resolved. And it starts with accountability. Every South African organisation that embraces AI must do so with full visibility into the environmental cost and a commitment to minimising it. 4 solutions Fortunately, the solutions are within reach. - Smarter silicon New computer architectures like Processing-In-Memory (PIM) and Compute-In-Memory (CIM) can dramatically reduce the energy intensity of AI operations. Instead of constantly shuttling data between memory and processing units, an energy-hungry exercise, these chips perform computation directly within memory, cutting power consumption significantly. That's not a tech detail. That's a sustainability breakthrough. - Geography of your data. AI workloads must be located where clean, affordable energy is available. That might mean shifting some operations to regions with high solar penetration or hydro capacity. In South Africa, we can't afford to run advanced AI models on coal-fired power. It's inefficient, it's expensive, and it's reputationally risky. The next generation of competitive advantage will come from clean compute. - Design discipline Too many organisations fall into the trap of experimentation for its own sake running endless AI model iterations that consume resources without yielding proportional value. It's time to apply restraint. Use AI where it matters. Train models with purpose. Avoid redundant data cycles. This is about thoughtful innovation, not performative digitalism. - Governance Sustainability in AI cannot be a bolt-on consideration. It must be written into the code. That means deploying governance-as-code frameworks that automate sustainability guardrails, monitor energy thresholds in real-time, and flag violations before they spiral. It means giving your IT and sustainability teams a common language and the tools to enforce it. Sustainable digital transformation South African companies have an opportunity indeed, a responsibility to lead in the design of responsible AI. Our energy grid is fragile. Our climate is under strain. Our water resources are finite. But we also have some of the world's most creative technologists, a growing green finance movement, and an emerging generation of sustainability-savvy consumers. We can be the continent that shows how to scale AI responsibly, equitably, and profitably. The AI decisions we make in the next 24 months will determine whether we lock in a high-carbon future or build the foundation for sustainable digital transformation. That's the fork in the road. South African businesses must partner with experts who understand both sides of the equation, innovation and impact. Because only those who balance the promise of AI with the principles of sustainability will be truly future-ready. All rights reserved. © 2022. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (
