A Digital Advocate’s passion for technology enables them to inspire others to embrace change and emerging technologies.As Digital Advocates we research and promote new and emerging technologies internally and externally. Our job is to show that Oracle cares about technology, the future and how we can shape the future with technology. My particular focus is on Artificial Intelligence and how it can be used / should it be used in education. I curate and create content about this topic and some of the related areas. I think our role is particularly special because it’s open enough to allow us to be creative in what we research and promote. Because Oracle cares about technology and learning they are always encouraging us and helping us to learn new things. This allows us to do more and be better than we thought we could be.
