It's certainly possible but Karjakin held on to the record for 19 years, so while it's possible, it's not extremely likely.

If they start with chess earlier, they can get to GM sooner.

Yes, the baby 'GM' would probably cry BEFORE it even gets the title. So much commotion

Records like these generally get better and better before tending towards a limit. Will this record be broken? Definitely. Will we some day have 9 year old GMs? Probably not, there's a human limit and we're approaching it.

Well, a 6,7,8 or 9 year old GM IS possible. That is, if they train early. Very rare. They need to have the enthu too. Which well, no kid younger then 8 has for chess.
