Ep. 231 From Artificial Intelligence to Ayurveda Intelligence

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

What does artificial intelligence have to do with Ayurveda? In this episode, Katie explores the fascinating intersection between human nature and technology, beginning with her own experience in AI and her reflections on the fear it can stir within us.

Drawing on Ayurvedic wisdom, Katie distinguishes between fear that protects and fear that limits. While AI may mimic aspects of our mental body, Ayurveda teaches that this is only one of seven layers (Koshas) that make up our full being. Tune in for an honest and uplifting conversation about embodiment, creativity and why our human heart and soul will always remain irreplaceable.

Registration for the 2026 class of our Divine Feminine Ayurveda School is open! If you have questions about the program, we’d love to chat with you. Click here to book your free call!

In this episode about artificial intelligence, you’ll hear:

~ The fear of artificial intelligence

~ Katie's experience working in AI

~ How our human bodies perceive and receive reality

~ An Ayurvedic perspective of AI

~ What Katie does and doesn’t fear about AI

~ Can artificial intelligence replace human creativity?

~ AI’s “soulful” version of Ice Ice Baby

~ You are more than your mental body

~ The Ayurvedic concept of the Koshas

~ Embodiment is more important now than ever

~ Why you are irreplaceable

~ An invitation to join us in the Spirit Sessions Membership to learn how to work with, purify and awaken each of your Koshas
