ORACLE WANTS TO BILL YOU FOR EVERY AI TASK, NOT JUST EVERY SEAT

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

Oracle plans to introduce usage-based AI charges alongside existing subscriptions for its Fusion enterprise applications. Customers will consume AI units as automated tasks are completed, allowing Oracle to grow revenue without adding user licenses. The approach reflects a broader shift in enterprise software pricing from per-seat subscriptions toward charging for automated work, introducing new considerations for software budgets and cost forecasting.
