contents This paper proves a conjecture generated by the artificial intelligence conjecturing program called \emph{TxGraffiti}. More specifically, we show that if $G$ is a connected, cubic, and claw-free graph, then $Z(G) \le γ(G) + 2$, where $Z(G)$ and $γ(G)$ denote the zero forcing number and the domination number of $G$, respectively. Furthermore, we provide a complete characterization of graphs that achieve this bound. Notably, this bound improves the known upper bounds for the zero forcing number of connected, cubic, and claw-free graphs.
