How does it resolve if the AI discovers it?

predicts YES

Why am I the only YES holder? Are you guys not serious physicists?

"something" means a specific physical object, so stuff like a shadow <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/FTL.html#3> wouldn't count, right?

Also, "surpasses the speed of light" means a spacelike worldline, so stuff like a silly frame of reference <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/FTL.html#14> wouldn't count, right?

@ArmandodiMatteo Exactly, it has to be a physical object and a frame of reference wouldn’t count.
