There are multiverse theories which look as if they are unverifiable by experiment. They are one of the ways proposed to resolve some weird aspects of quantum theory. There are MOND theories (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) that have been used to explain the problem of missing mass without requiring dark matter. Experiments have given very little evidence in this area but who know what might turn up. When somebody finds out what's really happening there will be Nobel prizes again.
Likewise in AI. We really don't know what's going to be found. By using more or less brute force with large data sets and self training algorithms we have had some limited successes. Could all be barking up the wrong tree. The critical breakthroughs might come from the computing side or the physiology side. Or possibly out of the blue from chemistry, physics or who knows. Ther may be slow incremental progress or some earth shattering discovery next year or in 100 years. The point is that we don't know how or when, but it's unwise to predict that it will never be possible.
