It is certainly possible, although it is unlikely in the current generation.
There is no way to predict whether or not a creature will become extinct. In the case of the kiwi, its population is on a downward trend. As long as there are introduced animals in New Zealand, the threat will remain high, and the kiwi's chances of becoming extinct increase daily.
The biggest threat to the kiwi comes from dogs, feral cats and other imported pets such as the stoat and ferret. Being a small, flightless bird, its defenses are extremely limited. Many kiwis are also killed every year by unregistered Pig-Hunting dogs (registration requires Kiwi Aversion training) and being killed while crossing roads/highways.
Loss of habitat due to deforestation and destruction of large tracts of native bush is also endangering the kiwi. Not only does this threaten its food sources, but deforestation means the kiwi has fewer places to hide from its many predators. Prior to Europeans coming to New Zealand, the kiwi enjoyed a healthy population. While figures vary, the count of kiwi in New Zealand, as of 2008, was believed to be 72,600. It is estimated that, by 2018, the figure will have fallen to 63,500.

When did kiwis start becoming extinct?
An animal does not "start" to become extinct. It is either extinct or not extinct. Kiwi started to move closer to endangerment following European settlement in New Zealand during the 1830s and 1840s, and the introduction of domesticated cats and dogs, as well as when other animals such as ferrets and stoats began to be brought to the country as pets.
Why should kiwis be protected?
The kiwi is a flightless bird that is generally native to New Zealand. Kiwis should be protected as they are very few in numbers and have too many predators. If not protected, the kiwi may sooner or later be extinct.
