Can AI Truly Learn Independently Without Free Will?

Because the universe started at a single point, everything in the universe can be traced back to that point, and because everything is based on cause and effect nothing is really random. Everything is based on what happened since the universe started at that single point and all the interactions (based on cause and effect) since then, therefore everything is deterministic, but only the universe itself is a big enough computer to actually determine the future.

Unfortunately, you have probably never heard of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, irreversibly etc.

moridin is right, but you may want to realize what you're discussing transcends disciplines.
m. already pointed out the scientific problems with your statement.

So, let's try this:

John Calvin's Predestination matches what you are discussing. He applied an early idea of a deterministic universe where God is your "computer" to discuss what became of people and their souls. This is more of a philosophical or theological approach to determinism than trying to use big bang theory to describe it.
