This article's author, Scott Stein, spoke with Digital Deepak and then the present: here's his take on how celebrities can use AI. Next - from the first person.

For a few minutes I have a small session with Deepak, which does not exist.

Several weeks later, I am on the phone with the real Deepak Chopra about what I experienced.

This “Digital Deepak” will personalize himself based on the data he is given, and there can be a lot of it.

“If you want, you can share whatever you want with him privately, it will be very ethical about that information, including your medical records if you want to share them,” Chopra says. “And he will be able to consult with experts and give you advice.”

Chopra also sees opportunities to use her digital self to learn more about her physical self.

“I will learn with his help, and he with mine. I mean, we’re twins now,” he says.
