Smart Artificial Intelligence Needs An Open (Source) Classroom

As schoolchildren and students of all ages will widely confirm after the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic with the imposition of home-schooling for many, it's harder to learn in a vacuum. It's not impossible, but it's generally agreed that we humans learn better in groups through mutual discovery, intercommunication on problem-solving and through the general process and pursuit of team-based challenges and goals. This, after all, is why we have schools. Could the same need for interconnected cross-fertilization also help computers to'learn' as they build their data-powered Artificial Intelligence (AI) knowledge bases and software-driven analytics engines? More examples of open AI are surfacing all the time.
