IBM asks DBAs to trust AI to act on their behalf

The Register · 2 months ago

IBM has added support for Google Vertex AI and Intel Gaudi to its Db2 Genius Hub, enabling AI agents to propose and execute database operations with user approval while maintaining human oversight. The tool promises to cut management costs by 25 percent, reduce manual intervention by 30 percent, and decrease time to resolution by 35 percent according to IBM's claims. This allows database administrators to focus on higher-level business decisions while AI handles routine monitoring and optimization tasks.
