About Humans In The Loop

Humans in the Loop is a 2024 Indian film about an Adivasi (tribal) woman, Nehma, who returns to her village in Jharkhand after a divorce. As she is a divorced mother of two who returns to her ancestral village, she struggles to adapt and reconnect with her family, especially her city-born daughter, Dhanu. Following this, she takes a job as a data labeller to train AI systems.

Themes of Humans In The Loop

This story explores how this work intersects with her personal life, as she tries to raise her children, navigate rural life, and combat the human biases inherent in technology.

This film contrasts Nehma's rich cultural and environmental knowledge with the dull, mechanical nature of data labelling, showing how AI's learning process is a form of human-guided learning. Nehma discovers that the artificial intelligence systems she is training are perpetuating harmful human biases, some of which reflect prejudice against her own community. The story highlights that while technology like AI is often seen as a futuristic force, it is built and trained by real people, and the act of “labelling” is a human process that reflects our own world and values.

Nehma realises that her job is not only a battle for her children's future, but also a reflection of how the world views people like her, her struggle for social acceptance and recognition.

The film's cast includes Sonal Madhushankar as Nehma and Ridhima Singh as her daughter, Dhaanu. It also features Geeta Guha, Anurag Lugun, Aranya Sahay, and others.

Humans In The Loop is directed by Aranya Sahay. Mathivanan Rajendran, Sarabhi Ravichandran, and Shilpa Kumar are the producers, while Kiran Rao and Biju Toppo are the executive producers.
