Enabling Affordable access and Information to every woman in their own MindSet and Language. TechSavvy
The information environment is enough rich, characterized by a growth in information sources as well as providers, a variety of approaches and techniques for accessing information, and a redundancy of content from multiple sources. In this “overloaded” information environment, many information users tend to experience a sense of insufficiency in locating the precise information which leads to anxiety. Information need is influenced by a number of factors. It is revealed from the literature that ‘information scattered in too many sources’ and that too in multi-formats is the problem often faced by users.
Tech Savvy Women (TSW) works to retain, celebrate, and advance experienced professional women in technology and related industries. The entry of women in technology and automation-oriented workplaces is not only beneficial from a gender perspective, but also from the commercial standpoint. Traditionally, different sector of industries have been male-dominated, but in recent years, there has been a rising interest in hiring women for these jobs. One of the underlying reasons for the opening up of the technologically advanced employment sectors for women is the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies. The globally-renowned MIT in the USA has been focusing on developing learning and training facilities that help attract more girls towards technology. About 70% of young girls show interest in STEM (US data) and there is a need to convert that interest into a career in today’s automation-driven environment. Ada Lovelace was first woman in Tech, Mary Kenneth Keller was the first woman in the US to receive a PhD. in computer science.
Building new Products and Services relevant to Women's Unique needs and work. Best out of waste
The private sector is an essential partner in advancing the process of women’s economic empowerment. By adopting business practices that include and support women as workers, consumers, producers and suppliers, firms can not only contribute towards women’s economic empowerment, but also expand their own market, achieve greater business efficiency, and improve their bottom line. A business case can help firms understand why women’s inclusion and empowerment is important for their mission and values, business model and stakeholders.
Many women in the country has started to work and innovate their own product through waste.
Two women from Karnataka’s capital city came out with a unique initiative to rent cutleries in social gatherings and thereby avoid the vicious circle of plastic usage. In 2015, Lakshmi Sankaran and Rishita Sharma started a venture called, ‘Rent-A-Cutlery’ that rents out stainless cutlery to make the occasion green and disposable free.
Bilasini Nath, 50, a housewife from Dasipur village in Kendrapada district, has been making beautiful baskets, pen stands, cellphone stands, flowers, animals and other items using waste materials for the past two years. She collects used polythene, plastic covers for food packets, cigarette cases and other waste materials and converts those into beautiful items.

The flexibility and “luxury” of working remotely is still seen as a bit taboo in some industry sectors. But research shows that technology— like the ability to log on remotely through tools like Microsoft Teams mobile —enables greater career progression for women.
Accenture research shows that women on the fast track in their organizations are using more technology to help balance their commitments. Of women on a leadership track, 83 percent work a flexible schedule, which gives them more control over where and when they work. Companies like Nissan and biotech corporation Genentech provide a flexible work framework for when life happens and also offer on-site childcare facilities. Over the last decade, Genentech has built a culture where women represent more than half (53 percent) of employees, with almost half as managers and officers of the company.
Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai on Monday announced a Google for India Digitisation Fund through which the company will invest Rs 75,000 crore, or approximately $10 billion, over the next five to seven years to drive digital transformation in the country. The fund will focus on four areas that are important to India's digitisation. These include enabling affordable access to the internet and to information for every Indian in their own language and building new products and services that are deeply relevant to India's unique needs including consumer tech, education, health and agriculture. The Google for India Digitisation Fund will also focus on empowering businesses especially small and medium businesses as they continue or embark on their digital transformation.
Amid the lockdown to curb COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of companies are offering work-from-home jobs for women, says a report. The platform saw that certain job roles such as journalist, editor, content writing, tele-calling, customer services, and QA testing were the ones that women professionals majorly applied for. Education, IT, recruitment, Internet or ecommerce, and advertising are some of the most popular industries for women while searching for jobs.

(AI) has the potential to help tackle some of the world’s most challenging social problems. To analyze potential applications for social good, we compiled a library of about 160 AI social-impact use cases. They suggest that existing capabilities could contribute to tackling cases across all 17 of the UN’s sustainable-development goals, potentially helping hundreds of millions of people in both advanced and emerging countries. AI is only part of a much broader tool kit of measures that can be used to tackle societal issues, however. For now, issues such as data accessibility and shortages of AI talent constrain its application for social good.
AI would have a low error rate compared to humans, if coded properly. They would have incredible precision, accuracy, and speed. They won't be affected by hostile environments, thus able to complete dangerous tasks, explore in space, and endure problems that would injure or kill us. This can even mean mining and digging fuels that would otherwise be hostile for humans. It Replace humans in repetitive, tedious tasks and in many laborious places of work.
In case of Aviation:
Robotics and cognitive computing for better operational efficiency:
Tokyo Haneda Airport and Auckland Airports use robots for luggage transportation and cleaning. Etihad and Lufthansa tied up with IBM to take advantage of IBM Watson. Both airlines plan to leverage IBM’s cloud-based technologies to enhance the guest experience, develop world-class infrastructure and security, and improve operational efficiency.
The World Bank’s Pacific Aviation Investment Program (PAIP) is bringing state-of-the-art air traffic management and satellite-based ground communications to airports and small aircraft operators in seven Pacific island countries and territories. These advances, coming online in 2017, will vastly improve the safety and efficiency of South Pacific aviation and further its global integration.
In case of blogging:
While AI and machine learning may at first appear to threaten the customer service industry, they actually have the power to make customer service agents’ jobs less time-consuming and more fulfilling.
Integrated AI can instantaneously retrieve the data an agent needs, while the agent or support team deals directly with the human side of customer service. This eliminates the need for human agents to run multiple systems simultaneously to address customer inquiries. Rather than employ agents to work 24/7 in a call center, AI can be used to field and classify calls and messages so human agents are then able to work more reasonable shifts with increased efficiency and reduced physical and mental stress.
