Oracle introduced AI Vector Search in 23c to enable customers to build Generative-AI and semantic search capabilities into their applications. The core of AI Vector Search includes a) a new first-class datatype called Vector that’s used to represent the features/attributes of some unstructured content like text or images, b) new vector indexes to perform approximate searches to find similar matches, and c) new SQL syntax and operators to easily incorporate similarity search into SQL queries. This session will give a solid background behind Generative-AI technology and Oracle’s new AI Vector Search capabilities in 23c, as well showcase the technology with demo slides or live demo.
