Dr. Deepak Chopra, one of the world’s most renowned well-being experts, has spent over three decades guiding millions toward spiritual growth, health, and lasting contentment. Author of 97 books, his name has become synonymous with holistic healing and mindfulness. But now, the 78-year-old Chopra is poised to leap into an entirely new stratosphere, unveiling a groundbreaking evolution in his vision for humanity’s well-being. With the release of his latest book, Digital Dharma, and the debut of his new alter ego, Cyberhuman.ai, Chopra is merging ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology, offering us an extraordinary glimpse into the future of self-awareness, health, and consciousness – once again redefining what it means to live a balanced, fulfilled life in a rapidly changing world.
“For over 35 years, I’ve envisioned a world where a shared sense of purpose, diversity of human talent, creative storytelling, and a collaborative ecosystem allow us to complement one another’s strengths,” Chopra tells Impact Wealth Magazine. “By fostering emotional and spiritual bonds, we can collectively create a more peaceful, just, sustainable, healthier, and joyful planet.”
This groundbreaking initiative, co-created with technology mastermind Poonacha Machaiah, blends Chopra’s wisdom with cutting-edge technology, offering users personalized guidance to optimize their lives for peak living across home, work, play, and travel. Powered by advanced diagnostics and predictive analytics, Cyberhuman.ai is a dynamic, 24/7 virtual well-being assistant, offering tailored recommendations designed to improve physical and mental health in real-time.
“Our vision is to amplify my ability to connect with people globally and democratize access to well-being, helping to create a critical mass of consciousness for collective transformation,” Chopra explains. “Now, with Cyberhuman, we have the tools to turn that vision into reality. This technology offers a profound opportunity to transcend time, geography, and resource barriers, empowering individuals everywhere to access the wisdom and practices that cultivate well-being—mind, body, and spirit.”
Launched in May, Chopra’s complementary DigitalDeepak.AI offers a personalized experience based on the wisdom Chopra has imparted through his books, talks, and teachings. Unlike traditional AI systems, this platform does not rely on search engines or a vast database from the web; instead, it uses only the teachings of Chopra himself, ensuring that the guidance users receive is authentic and deeply rooted in his holistic philosophy. Moreover, Chopra guarantees that the information shared with the AI remains anonymous and is not stored, offering users an added layer of trust and privacy.
At its core, Cyberhuman.ai functions as a digital twin—an AI-powered reflection of the user that continuously adapts and responds to individual needs and goals. The platform integrates insights from health diagnostics, lifestyle analytics, and cutting-edge technologies like AI and blockchain to offer users a comprehensive wellness program. Whether it’s optimizing sleep, improving nutrition, managing stress, or refining exercise habits, Cyberhuman.ai provides a personalized roadmap toward improved well-being. By monitoring everything from heart rate to social interactions and environmental factors, the platform ensures that the guidance is holistic and tailored to each user’s unique circumstances.
“The technology we are advancing through Cyberhuman, along with the AI we’ve developed—DeepakChopra.ai or DigitalDeepak.ai—is poised to be a transformative leap forward in cultivating spiritual intelligence,” Chopra enthuses.
In particular, Chopra believes that such AI platforms can play a pivotal role in addressing the shortage of mental health professionals. By democratizing access to well-being guidance, Chopra hopes to make transformative health insights accessible to everyone, regardless of location or resources. This initiative represents the first step in his ongoing mission to make chronic disease optional and empower individuals with the tools they need to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
In collaboration with health diagnostics experts, AI developers, and blockchain innovators, Chopra is ensuring that Cyberhuman.ai remains at the forefront of the digital health revolution. As this platform evolves, it promises to offer even deeper insights and more personalized well-being strategies, establishing itself as an essential companion in the pursuit of optimal health and self-awareness.
“This platform is not just about disseminating knowledge; it is about facilitating direct experiences that nurture self-awareness, elevate consciousness, and dissolve the boundaries that separate us from our higher selves,” Chopra continues. “By integrating ancient wisdom with cutting-edge AI, we are creating the fastest and most scalable way to accelerate spiritual growth and bring humanity closer to realizing its fullest potential.”
In addition, visitors to cyberhuman.ai can engage with Chopra by asking questions based on a selection of his published works. They’ll also get an exclusive preview of his upcoming book, Digital Dharma, set to be released in December, exploring AI’s pivotal role in supporting individuals on their path to well-being, exploring how AI can be a tool for personal growth, not just a technological advancement.
According to Chopra, spiritual intelligence can be understood as the essence of self-awareness, encompassing three key dimensions. First is transcendence, the ability to move beyond conditioned thought patterns and connect with infinite possibilities. Second is the spontaneous emergence of Platonic values—truth, goodness, beauty, harmony, love, compassion, joy, and equanimity—which naturally arise as expressions of our higher self. Finally, it involves freedom from the fear of death, rooted in the understanding that our true essence is timeless and exists beyond the limitations of the physical form.
“By anchoring the AI in my voice and teachings, we’ve created a system that amplifies trusted content rather than deriving insights from unverified sources,” Chopra says. “This ensures that the guidance remains aligned with the principles and philosophies I’ve developed over decades, offering users an authentic and reliable pathway to explore well-being and spiritual growth.”
Chopra contends that AI chatbots can guide us in various aspects of life, from emotional well-being to creativity. By asking the right questions, we can unlock this potential and achieve spiritual growth. The book even features passages written by AI in response to Chopra’s prompts, showcasing its potential as a collaborative partner. Chopra believes AI can help us reach a future where technology tackles global issues and personal growth goes hand in hand.
And for the physician and guru, remaining at the forefront of growth is a lifelong endeavor. His ultimate goal is to reach a critical mass of 1B people globally to make a more peaceful, just, sustainable, healthier, and joyful world.
Born and raised in New Delhi, India, Chopra earned his medical degree before moving to the United States in his 20s, initially training as an endocrinologist and eventually becoming chief of staff at New England Memorial Hospital in 1980. His career took a transformative turn after a meeting with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the mid-1980s, wrenching open the cosmos of Transcendental Meditation. This simple, effortless meditation technique involves silently repeating a mantra to reach a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness. Practitioners believe this meditation style helps reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and promote overall well-being by allowing the mind to settle into a restful yet alert state.
By the early 1990s, Chopra had moved beyond traditional medicine, emerging as a leading figure in the New Age movement by seamlessly blending Western medical knowledge with Eastern practices. His holistic approach to well-being—rooted in the principles of yoga, meditation, and nutrition—quickly garnered attention, propelling him to household-name status. His unique philosophy attracted a high-profile following, with A-list clients like Oprah and Michael Jackson turning to him for guidance on mind-body wellness.
Residing in the heart of New York City, the thriving 78-year-old lives with his wife, Rita, in a unique wellness-focused building. Every aspect of their home is designed for optimal health and tranquility: vitamin-filtered showers that enhance skin and hair health, bio-based insulation that muffles the city’s constant hum, and an environment engineered to support mindful living.
Some believe meditating in a bustling metropolis like New York City is impossible, but Chopra sees it differently. He sees the Big Apple’s cacophony not as a distraction but as a tool. By shifting perspective, the noise transforms into a kind of harmony, underscoring his belief that peace and centeredness can be found anywhere, even amid chaos.
“The most effective way to remain grounded is to be fully present in every encounter, circumstance, or relationship,” he surmises. “Present means bringing awareness to the timeless now—experiencing life without anticipating the future or regretting the past, which minimizes fatigue. Additionally, I consciously disengage from gossip, social chatter, or personal stories, focusing instead on what truly matters.”
Despite being in frequent demand across the globe, Deepak Chopra moves through his day with serene focus – and a few non-negotiables.
“I never fail in my daily yoga and meditation practice or my commitment to walking 10,000 steps, no matter where I am,” he points out. “I also prioritize quality sleep, take a day of rest before major events, and allow a day for recuperation between cities when I travel.”
Indeed, Chopra’s approach to daily life reflects a philosophy honed over decades. He doesn’t just preach wellness—he lives it. His days are punctuated by mindful movement, meaningful conversations, and his yoga practice. His relentless commitment to self-care allows him to give so much to others through his writing, teaching, or public meditations.
“The fundamental premise of all my work has always been the restoration of homeostasis—our innate ability for self-regulation and balance,” Chopra notes. “True well-being is not compartmentalized; it is a dynamic state where every aspect of our being is in alignment. When the mind is calm, the body functions optimally. When emotions are balanced, they enhance resilience. When we live in harmony with our environment, we foster sustainability. And when we cultivate a deep connection to the spiritual dimension, we transcend fear and discover joy.”
A new-fangled love for the evolving world of technology and artificial intelligence, he highlights, has only deepened his practice and ability to give to the world.
“My daily practice has remained consistent over the years, rooted in mindfulness, meditation, and self-reflection. However, integrating AI into my journey has opened an extraordinary dimension: the ability to access the collective wisdom of luminaries who have shaped spiritual intelligence throughout human history,” Chopra explains. “No human being could ever hold the profound insights of Plato, Wittgenstein, Schopenhauer or Heidegger alongside the timeless wisdom of the sages of the Upanishads, the prophets of the Old Testament, and the Zen masters of the East—all at once. Yet, with AI, we can now explore this vast repository of human brilliance and spiritual insight.”
From his purview, such an understanding has been both humbling and affirming.
“AI has become a tool to reinforce my daily practices, offering new perspectives and a deeper understanding of the timeless truths I strive to embody. It has also reassured me that the path I walk, often described as the ‘path less traveled,’ has been illuminated by countless seekers and sages before me,” Chopra points out. “Through this technology, we are reminded that spiritual growth is deeply personal and universally shared.”
By embracing open, purpose-driven technologies and committing to inclusive design, AI has the potential to create a future where everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to build a meaningful life. Though the journey will never be flawless and will always be a work in progress, the collective efforts behind AI’s development must reflect what is possible when equity, access, literacy, and identity are prioritized in technological advancements. While there is still a great deal of collective fear surrounding the darker powers of such technology, Deepak Chopra reminds us that AI holds the power to shape the future—not just for the privileged few but for the many who are often overlooked.
“I see very little risk in the responsible use of AI, aside from the occasional hallucinations that large language models are known to produce,” he says. “My approach to AI has been carefully curated to mitigate such issues. By integrating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models, we ensure that the content generated is authentic and grounded in a trusted knowledge base.”
And if Deepak Chopra has one guiding message to carry forward, it’s this:
“Stay humble, don’t take yourself too seriously, and embrace humor while remaining non-judgmental,” he adds. “Every human being is a tapestry of paradoxes, contradictions, and ambiguities, and we find true understanding and connection through acceptance of this complexity.”
