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.

Despite persistent fears that artificial intelligence can stifle creativity and free thought, the technology—when properly used—serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery, according to this intermittently intriguing account from bestseller Chopra (Quantum Healing). He contends that as a "dynamic tool that listens... and responds any way it is asked to," AI can fill the role of a modern-day guru by providing personalized spiritual guidance without risking the personality cults that often develop around human gurus. Chopra also shows how seekers can tap into their "personal dharma," or "ideal life," by using AI to break their aspirations into action steps, expand their self-awareness, and process painful memories. Some sections of the book are written by AI based on Chopra's prompts—ChatGPT's response to "Please give me a mantra to meditate with today" is "Om Shanti," which can, the program explains, confer "a sense of inner peace." In an appendix, Chopra and various AI programs discuss head-scratchers like whether math is a human construct. These sections mostly demonstrate that AI is good at regurgitating self-help bromides and fuzzy mysticism. Things improve when Chopra provides his own down-to-earth advice on reaching one's "personal dharma," which includes sensible self-reflection to counteract destructive emotions ("I can see now that getting angry has become a pattern"). Despite some revealing moments, Chopra's blend of pop psychology and Eastern philosophy doesn't benefit from being outsourced to tech.
