This chapter will cover the basic problems of women in South Asian countries. For this, a group survey is taken in India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Nepal covering around 200 women about their basic problems in personal and professional lives and lifestyle and house management routine activities. The chapter will cover the basic segment of artificial intelligence and its support in maintaining the health parametric card for the household makers. The chapter will also assist the women in the kitchen with the help of artificial intelligence, especially in cooking and digital health menu selection. A special segment in the chapter will also address the cleanliness of the house with the help of A.I.-supporting tools and gadgets. Last but not the least, the chapter will also address the security of the household makers especially in day hours when they are alone in the houses. The chapter will be an innovative research to understand the better half of the society and to address their day-to-day problems with technological interventions.
Top1. Introduction
This human world consists of two basic pillars – Man and Women. Although both are different in nature, physical appearance and strengths but compliment and comprehension of both of them makes the world perfect. Women are better half of men and take the responsibility of household makers especially in South Asian Countries. The men are supposed to perform outhouse jobs and women are supposed to take household activities (Megan, 2020).
Although the women are the basic pillar of the society but they are not getting the equal importance in their personal and professional life. To understand the basic problems of women especially in the South Asian Countries better and on the realistic environment, the authors have conducted a group survey conducted virtually in India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia and United States covering around 100 women about their basic problems in personal and professional life, lifestyle & house management routine activities.

Top2. The Horizons Of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a big term where the knowledge and intelligence of human being is being articulated. In simple words we can understand it as man-made machine thinking power. Right from the bots who can play chess effectively to answering the question on customer services. The self-driven car is a good example of Artificial intelligence where the car is governed by the datasets, algorithms and sensors technology all combine together to replace regular drivers in the car (Nilesh, 2021). The robots based surgery, recommendations based on the user’s likes, e-commerce, google map (for navigation), facial recognition (finger print / face pattern to open mobiles), smart assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant), spam filters in mails are the amazing uses of Artificial intelligence in our day to day life (Gupta, 2017).
If we look around the Artificial intelligence components, they are Learning (Gaming, language and words), Reasoning (drawing inferences), problem solving (image classification, task assignment and completion), perception (self-controlled car or bike) and language understanding (traffic sign, strong AI). (Beller & Clark, 2018)
Top3. The Women’S Problems On Global Basis
The world is facing many problems in terms of well-being of an individual, society and even on nations basis and this situation looks worse when we are not able to cater the need and respect of half of the society i.e. women. The gender gap in India is roughly around 62.5%, all because of women’s lesser representation in business, leadership, politics, business and technical startups (Sharmita, 2021). The global scenario is mostly dominated by Males. There are no clear opportunities or position for women so as to lead the society. The Lack of women in positions of power is a major challenge. Whether it is a court room or corporate boardrooms, research center to the policy makers, in most of the cases we found the Patriarchy is everywhere. The decision making authorities are mostly males (Mishra & Jagdish, 2021).
Sexism, racism and economic inequality is also forcing the women to the wall. Trauma centered feminism is creating havoc for the women. The young women are taught in colleges that they are fragile, vulnerable and in danger. Genital mutilation, acid attacks, honor killing are making the things worst enough for women. Another aspect where the women are facing challenge is to prioritize between the professional growth and motherhood.
