I-Learning Commons, inhlangano yezemfundo engenzi nzuzo esekelwa yi-Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, yethule inkundla yengqalasizinda evulekile eklanyelwe ukuhlola nokuvumelanisa amathuluzi obuhlakani bokwenziwa (artificial intelligence - AI) asetshenziswa emakilasini e-K-12. Iholwa ngowayeyisikhulu sezozobuchwepheshe uSandra Liu Huang, lolu hlelo lusebenzisa amagrafu olwazi avulekile (open knowledge graphs) kanye nabahloli be-AI abazinikele ukuhlola ukuthi ngabe izinsiza zokufundisa ezikhiqizwe nge-AI ziyahambisana ngempela yini namazinga ekhariyulamu kanye nezindlela zokufunda ezisekelwe ocwaningweni. Izinhlangano ezingaphezu kwezingama-70, ezibandakanya abahlinzeki bemiklamo eyisisekelo i-Anthropic kanye ne-OpenAI, sezijoyine lo mzamo njengozakwethu.

Lokhu kukhululwa kubhekana nengqinamba enkulu ezikoleni ezisebenzisa i-generative AI: yize amamodeli amakhulu olimi (large language models) ekwazi ukukhiqiza izinhlelo zezifundo ezikholekayo ngemizuzwana embalwa, abaphathi bezifunda bavame ukuntula izindlela ezisobala zokucwaninga ikhwalithi yokuqukethwe, imvamisa yokuvuselela, noma ukuthembeka ohlelweni lwezifundo. Ngokwenza izinhlaka zolwazi eziyisisekelo zitholakale mahhala nangokuvulekile (open source), le nkundla inikeza enye indlela esikhundleni sesoftware yabathuthukisi engavulelekile, okuvumela abaphathi bezikole ukuba baqinisekise ngokuzimela lokho okuthenjiswa ngabathengisi noma bazakhele amathuluzi abo ngqo phezu kwesisekelo esabiwe.

Njengoba iziphathimandla zezemfundo emhlabeni jikelele zihlola ukuthi amathuluzi e-generative AI axhumana kanjani nezinhlaka zikazwelonke—njengokwethulwa kohlelo lwezifundo lwe-Coding and Robotics eNingizimu Afrika—le nkundla ikhombisa inguquko evelayo ebheke kungqalasizinda engaqinisekiswa netholakala ngokuvulekile, eklanyelwe ukuvimbela ukubambeka ngaphansi kwezinkampani zohwebo zobuchwepheshe bezemfundo (commercial ed-tech lock-in).
