Oracle in AI Frenzy: Prospect of Collaboration with OpenAI Boosts Stock

The database giant Oracle made headlines again this week on the stock market. The company's shares rose by nearly 3%, fueled by reports of a potentially significant collaboration in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with a leading tech company. This increase surpassed the rise of the S&P 500 index, which was just under 1% that day. According to information from the industry website The Information, Oracle and the renowned AI developer OpenAI are reportedly in discussions about a partnership. Reports suggest that OpenAI plans to play a larger role in the provision of data centers and AI chips in the future to further advance the technology. Until now, OpenAI has been heavily reliant on its partner Microsoft, which has invested billions in the company as a significant investor. The reports indicate that OpenAI is dissatisfied with the speed at which Microsoft delivers its servers. Artificial intelligence is resource-intensive and requires significant computing power and storage space. So far, neither Oracle, Microsoft, nor OpenAI has officially commented on the reports. If these rumors prove true, Oracle could be facing an exciting and potentially lucrative deal with OpenAI, the developer of the well-known AI program ChatGPT. However, these discussions appear to be in the early stages, so investors should not invest in Oracle shares based solely on this news.
