DESCRIPTION: 
 “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 his newest book, 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. 

In a world captivated yet bewildered by artificial intelligence, spiritual icon Chopra 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. 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. 

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.  

In a conversation moderated by USC Dean of Religious Life Varun Soni, Chopra will invite us to transcend our limitations and explore a relationship with AI that elevates our collective consciousness and personal evolution at the same time.
