I would say it's making a prediction because to me the phrase "drawing conclusions" implies a conscious mental model of information from which a result is established. Making a prediction is not necessarily reliant on these mental models - especially conscious ones - it's about making an inference based on available information.

Another way to put it is a person would look at a person and notice fur, eyes, paws, ears, and the specific shapes and colors of these things and conclude it's a cat. Take away a leg, or an ear, or have it half out of frame, and most likely a person would still recognize it as a cat. The idea of "cat" exists in the mind of the agent in this case, but a computer may predict cat only if the animal is fully in frame and not missing any parts. The machine is entirely reliant on features whereas a person is reliant on a mental model that has more elasticity in what it defines.
