Abstract: The study examins the increasing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the household sector, focusing on both the transformative potential and the associated challenges of integrating it into daily life. With AI increasingly embedded in domestic tasks—from smart appliances and home security systems to elder care and childcare—households are experiencing significant shifts in convenience, efficiency, and autonomy. Using qualitative research and secondary data from academic sources, industry reports, and global organizations, this study investigates the extent of AI adoption, its social and behavioral implications, and the disparities it may exacerbate. The analysis reveals that AI contributes to time savings, personalized living experiences, and improved safety, yet it also raises concerns regarding privacy, emotional dependence, digital inequality, and gender bias. The paper concludes with policy recommendations advocating for ethical design, inclusive access, data protection regulations, and increased public awareness to ensure that the benefits of AI are equitably shared and responsibly implemented. This research aims to provide a balanced understanding of AI’s dual role as a facilitator and disruptor in modern household life.
