Abstract
The article discusses Oracle's increasing influence in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector and its potential acquisition of TikTok's U.S. operations. Larry Ellison, Oracle's cofounder, previously predicted a future of constant surveillance aided by AI, which would monitor law enforcement and citizen behavior. Recently, Oracle secured a significant $300 billion deal with OpenAI and is expected to oversee TikTok's algorithm and security as part of its acquisition from ByteDance. The U.S. government, under President Trump, has initiated steps to facilitate this deal, emphasizing American control over TikTok's operations and data security. [Extracted from the article]
