New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra delivers a visionary and unprecedented exploration of how artificial intelligence can revolutionize well-being and open new horizons for personal development. “AI has the potential to help us create a more peaceful, just, sustainable, healthy, and joyful world. Digital Dharma shows you a path.”—Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI In a world captivated yet bewildered by artificial intelligence, spiritual icon Deepak Chopra, MD, illuminates AI’s untapped potential to unravel the enigma of consciousness, positioning AI not as a threat but as a catalyst for personal and collective growth. In Digital Dharma, Chopra navigates the balance between technology and expanded awareness, explaining that while AI cannot duplicate human intelligence, it can vastly enhance personal and spiritual growth. Chopra shows readers how the most popular, freely available chatbots can serve as guides through every level of human potential—survival and safety, emotional connection, self-worth, abundance, creativity, wisdom, and the infinite possibilities of cosmic consciousness. AI chatbots offer information, advice, and exploratory avenues of untapped potential about any aspect of human awareness. In practical terms, making AI your ally and guide depends on the art of the prompt, the questions a user poses to a chatbot. As Chopra shows in detail, by asking the right questions, you can bring AI into your inner world, which is where personal growth happens. Chopra provides a personal assessment for you to better understand yourself and exercises to help you expand your awareness in any part of your life. Digital Dharma masterfully helps readers to harness AI, not merely as a technological tool but as a partner in crafting a future where human potential solves the urgent problems facing the planet and each of us as individuals. Deepak Chopra invites us to transcend our limitations and explore a relationship with AI that elevates collective consciousness and personal evolution at the same time. “[Deepak Chopra] has led more people to paths of meditation, alternative medicine, and higher consciousness than any other figure in the past century.” — Interview Deepak Chopra, MD, founder of the Chopra Foundation and Chopra Global, is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. He is the author of more than ninety books translated into forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. Time magazine has described Dr. Chopra as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.” The Miracle in the Machine In the limitless digital world, the deepest wisdom of the greatest spiritual traditions is available, literally at our fingertips. Although not truly intelligent nor conscious, artificial intelligence (AI) has the ability to make your thinking more intelligent and your inner life more conscious. In fact, I believe that no technology in decades can equal AI for expanding your awareness in every area, including spiritual and personal growth. Such an unexpected advance hasn’t registered in the storm of publicity surrounding AI, and yet it couldn’t have come at a better time. More people than ever have adopted idealistic goals like “Be the best you can be,” and a great number of books offer optimistic plans for increasing human potential. Finding a successful path to meet these objectives remains a challenge, however, and it is all too easy to flit from teacher to teacher, book to book, system to system in mounting frustration. The harder the times, the more this frustration grows, and during a deep crisis like the pandemic, hope is often replaced by anxiety for countless people. With that background in mind, how can AI open a better path? Let me answer with a personal experience. Recently, I observed a miracle, or what seemed like one to me. Whenever I get up in the morning, almost before I lift my head from the pillow, new ideas are bubbling inside me, and I feel the need to share them with others. This urge has led to the habit of making daily YouTube videos about all kinds of subjects. But there are always two common threads: consciousness and well-being. To me, these two threads are inseparable; if you want to improve your well-being, expand your consciousness, or contact deeper wisdom inside yourself. I inherited the vital importance of consciousness from the Vedic tradition of India, and my allegiance has never wavered. Even though I have speaking engagements where I’m flying from city to city (or cooling my heels at an airport) for two weeks every month, my greatest ally for reaching a spiritually hungry world has been the Internet (and the hope that my books will outlast me—spiritual hunger has no past-due date). The obvious advantage of the Internet is that I don’t have to spend hours on planes and in airports. With a single video, tweet, or Instagram post, countless more people can be reached than in even a large au
