Deepak Chopra on why he believes artificial intelligence could be a "spiritual guide"
CBSN
A legend in well-being, Deepak Chopra has been at the intersection of science and spirituality for almost half a century, meeting world-class leaders and celebrities alike and becoming a best-selling author with his dozens of books.
Born and raised in New Delhi, India, Chopra moved to the United States in his 20s, beginning his career as an endocrinologist before growing into a prominent figure in the New Age movement who became famous for teaching meditation to household names like Oprah and Michael Jackson. In his 95th book, "Digital Dharma," Chopra explores his beliefs about technology and spirituality — like why he believes artificial intelligence is the key to personal growth.
He told "CBS Saturday Morning" that while some people may prefer to focus on the "doomsday scenarios" associated with the technology, he wants to look at the positives.
