Academic in health issues and founder of the Chopra Foundation for well-being, he is betting everything today on the technology of the future and makes it known in his volume “Digital Dharma: How AI can elevate spiritual intelligence and personal well-being.”
“We’re taking spirituality, philosophy, religion and science, and AI, and putting them all together,” said the 77-year-old writer, who calls his book a great adventure.
Chopra is internationally recognized as a New Age writer and speaker, which refers to a series of spiritual or religious practices and beliefs that grew rapidly in the Western world during the 1970s.
In June Chopra launched Digital Deepak, which she refers to as her AI twin, the Silicon Canals site published.
Digital Deepak can answer questions about health and spirituality in English, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic.
The real Chopra has also signed up for voice cloning startup ElevenLabs and now an AI version of him can read anything out loud, like his own books.
One of the ways Digital Deepak can be helpful is by giving advice to help manage stress.
In my experience, no matter what you do, stress trumps everything, he analyzed.
I have seen people who eat healthy diets and exercise often get sick from chronic stress.
In his book he adds that one of the benefits of AI, as opposed to just reading his books to draw conclusions about everything stress or spirituality, is being able to communicate with an audience in their own language in real time.
But no matter how advanced these new systems may seem, they are no match for the human experience. Your creativity will never be replaced by a machine, after all, machines are algorithms and creativity is fundamentally breaking the algorithm, he clarified.
It simply gives you the opportunity to tap into your creativity with a broader knowledge base. he concluded.
