    AI Inside the Monolith: Delivering a Lightweight, Modern UI for Oracle EBS with Zero Core Rewrite

    A new architectural approach has been developed to integrate generative AI with monolithic enterprise systems like Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) without altering the core legacy code. This method involves creating a lightweight semantic layer that acts as a plugin, translating complex technical data structures into understandable business terms for AI models. This abstraction layer prevents AI hallucinations and ensures accurate data interpretation, even in heavily customized environments, by operating on virtual data marts instead of direct database access.

    Starbucks Drops AI As Meta And Intuit Cut 11,000 Jobs

    Major tech companies like Meta and Intuit are implementing significant layoffs, totaling over 11,000 jobs, to reallocate resources towards AI development. This trend contradicts the narrative that automation primarily transitions workers to new roles, as many affected are knowledge workers, and entry-level positions crucial for skill development are being eliminated. While new AI-focused roles are emerging, they often require several years of experience, creating a skills gap that prevents those laid off from transitioning into these positions. AI
