  "new_text": "All major AI labs will have fully automated their AI research by the end of 2027.",
  "reasoning": "\"Will conduct fully automated AI research\" admitted two readings on which very different evidence bears: that each lab runs at least some end-to-end AI-run research projects (close to true already at several labs), or that each lab's AI research is fully automated, with AI systems doing the work human researchers now do. The second is the milestone the forecasting discourse refers to under \"full automation of AI R&D\" (OpenAI's \"automated AI researcher\", Jack Clark's \"no-human-involved AI R&D\", the AI Futures Project's superhuman AI researcher) and is the reading a dated forecast naturally carries. The new wording states it plainly so the assessment and the words agree. No instances are recorded, so no stance is affected."

  "description": "Even a lab whose AI could do all research work may not run research without humans: research judgment is the least automated part, compute limits what automation buys, and leading labs have endorsed deliberately pacing recursive self-improvement."
