Read the following passage about technological singularity: 'The hypothesis of a technological singularity posits a future point in time when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. Proponents argue that by 2045, artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, leading to an intelligence explosion. This event ushers in a new era where posthumans, or cyborgs, become the dominant form of intelligence on Earth. Critics, however, remain skeptical, pointing to the immense, perhaps insurmountable, hardware and software challenges that must be overcome.' Which pair of verbs correctly fills the blanks, respectively, reflecting a strong prediction and a subsequent predicted outcome?
