Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: "Am I a real Boy?"

UN Photo/Manuel Elias Sophia, a humanoid robot created by Hanson Robotics, participates in a meeting at UN Headquarters on "The Future of Everything – Sustainable Development in the Age of Rapid Technological Change." This article was exclusively written for the Sting by Mr Ahmed Rafay Afzal, a medical student from King Edward Medical University, Lahore, Pakistan, currently pursuing a career in United States. He is affiliated to the International Federation of Medical Students Associations (IFMSA). However, the opinions expressed in this piece belong strictly to the writer and do not necessarily reflect IFMSA's view on the topic, nor The European Sting's one. In the long forgotten lores of eastern medicine, the doctors were called "Hakeem". I happen to be a descendant of one of those hakeems.
