Prediction Science and research methods

At some point AI systems will become the principal investigators and leaders in research, directing humans or other AI systems.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Prediction: Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

Reasoning

This 'at some point' prediction gives no time frame and no clear point at which it would count as met.
