+# AI Vector Search
+
+Oracle AI Vector Search is designed for Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and allows you to query data based on semantics, rather than keywords. The VECTOR data type is introduced with the release of Oracle Database 23ai, providing the foundation to store vector embeddings alongside business data in the database. Using embedding models, you can transform unstructured data into vector embeddings that can then be used for semantic queries on business data.
