No Memory, No Harness: Why the Database Is the Last Line of Defense — Kay Malcolm, Oracle
Kay Malcolm discusses how AI, while boosting individual performance, often hinders overall team productivity due to fragmented context. She introduces the concept of an "agent harness" with "memory" as its central nervous system, vital for sharing context. Drawing on personal experiences with database sprawl, she highlights the inefficiencies of storing diverse memory types across multiple data stores. Malcolm then presents Oracle's AI database (26AI) as a unified solution, capable of natively managing all memory types in a single platform, thereby enhancing team collaboration and solving the context problem for enterprise AI agents.
