Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions?
Do you ever feel lonely even when you're around people?
Today, Jay welcomes back the legendary Deepak Chopra after six years, to discuss the unexpected intersection of spirituality and artificial intelligence. Together they unpack the beautiful blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge innovation.
Jay reflects on his first meeting with Deepak and how their bond has evolved over the years. The conversation quickly flows into one of the most fascinating questions of our time: Can AI actually support our spiritual growth, rather than distract from it? Deepak shares his insights on the mysteries of the universe, the unseen forces that shape our reality, and why he believes consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of everything.
Jay and Deepak break down the fears surrounding AI, from misinformation to war, and why it’s so important for us to grow spiritually alongside our technology. They explore how storytelling, creativity, and love are deeply human qualities that no machine can replicate, and how we can use these gifts to shape a better, more compassionate world.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Ask AI Better Questions to Unlock Wisdom
How to Use Technology to Support Emotional and Physical Healing
How to Find Purpose Through the Art of Storytelling
How to Train AI to Reflect Inclusivity and Diversity
How to Embrace Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality
How to Create a Sacred Relationship with Technology
Deepak reminds us that the answers we’re looking for often begin with a better question. And with the right mindset, even the most advanced technology can become a tool for inner transformation and collective healing.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
