Actually I took the monitors more to be the possibilities of Neo's action as the matrix sees them. If you will notice, the camera always seems to focus on one and then go through it, as neo's mind chooses that path out of the many possibilities.

And this is how modern design of AI works.. a dumbed down example is chess AI evaluates all the moves and applies heuristics to determine the best move. This monitors on the wall could mean that the Matrix is evaluating what Neo's next choice would be OR the Matrix knows what Neo's choices should be.
Now the Oracle knows what choices will be made supposedly and understanding why those choices are made, that is, why the heuristics evaluated that choice thereby possibly improving the intelligence of Neo is the challenge that she presents Neo.
So is Neo AI or not AI? Is the Matrix one big AI training program? What would that say about our world and evolution?

I'd recommend seeing Waking Life in which life is examined from a more humanistic perspective.
