Oracle founder Larry Ellison is encouraging world leaders to collect and share vast amounts of data with artificial intelligence (AI) systems, potentially storing it in Oracle's own data centers. Ellison believes that by aggregating and analyzing large datasets, AI can help solve some of humanity's most pressing problems, such as climate change and disease.
Ellison's vision involves creating a global network of data centers that can collect, store, and analyze vast amounts of data from various sources, including governments, corporations, and individuals. This data would then be used to train and improve AI systems, enabling them to make more accurate predictions and decisions.
While Ellison's proposal may have some benefits, it also raises concerns about data privacy, security, and the potential for biased decision-making. Critics argue that consolidating large amounts of data in a single location, such as an Oracle data center, could create a single point of failure and make it easier for hackers to access sensitive information.
Moreover, there are concerns about the potential for Oracle to profit from the data, either by selling it to third parties or using it to train its own AI systems. Ellison's proposal highlights the need for clear regulations and guidelines around data collection, storage, and use, particularly when it comes to sensitive information.
