President Trump confirmed a $14 billion deal for TikTok that allows US companies, including Oracle and Michael Dell, to control the app’s content algorithm. This agreement is part of a national security provision requiring TikTok's divestiture from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The deal follows Trump's earlier attempts to ban TikTok due to national security concerns.
Oracle's co-CEOs, Mike Sicilia and Clay Magouyrk, are advocating for the company's significant investment in new data centers, which they claim will enhance AI capabilities for businesses. They emphasize the provision of applied AI through infrastructure, analytics, and applications.
