Happiness pioneer Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar joins Marga.ai to build a new asset class: scalable human wisdom

The next frontier of AI: scaling human wisdom – Marga.ai is turning the world’s greatest minds into AI

Miami, April 13, 2026, Marga.ai, the world’s first platform for capturing, protecting, and scaling authentic human wisdom, announces that Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar has joined its growing collective of Digital Masters. 

The Happiness Studies Academy

At Harvard University, Dr. Ben-Shahar taught two of the most popular courses in the institution’s history, impacting tens of thousands of students and moving the study of happiness into the center of academic and public discourse.

Building on this legacy, he co-founded the Happiness Studies Academy (HSA), a premier international institution dedicated to the study of resilience and well-being.

A New Category

Marga operates across two distinct worlds, each with its own customer, value logic, and emotional driver, but unified by one core thesis:

Human wisdom is the most valuable, least scalable asset on earth.

 The World of Living Masters

Marga partners exclusively with the world’s most trusted masters – leaders, thinkers, teachers and experts, to capture and scale their wisdom with absolute fidelity.

Each master’s voice, methodology, and judgment are transformed into a legally exclusive, master-verified AI mentor that can guide millions simultaneously, without hallucinations, drift, or loss of integrity. The result is an authentic, human, and continuously accessible experience, available 24/7 in nearly 70 languages.

The World of Legacy

Marga enables individuals, families, and leaders to preserve not just knowledge, but judgment, values, and presence using memory and imagination, and creating a living digital legacy that can guide future generations.

“Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar has spent his life bringing the science of happiness to tens of millions of people,” said Mark Gazit, CEO and Co-Founder of Marga.ai. “At Marga, our mission is to ensure that the wisdom of the world’s most trusted thinkers does not remain limited by time, geography, or scale. By creating Dr. Ben-Shahar AI Version, we are making his insights accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any moment. This is the future of AI – not replacing human wisdom but scaling it.

Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar added:

“By embracing this AI platform, I am building a bridge between the ‘Ivory Tower’ and ‘Main Street,’ allowing me to be available to you 24/7 with constant support and guidance. Together, we can help people flourish and make the world a better place. This digital presence is built upon the foundation of my entire life’s work -incorporating insights from my books, countless lectures, and webinars, alongside decades of academic research. My vision is to use this technology as a powerful resource for growth, amplifying our ability to share both rigorous science and our most vulnerable moments. Together, we can 

help people flourish and make the world a better place.”
