Humans in the Loop is a 2024 Hindi-Kurukh-language fiction film directed by Aranya Sahay and produced by Storiculture.
The film follows an Adivasi woman from Jharkhand who unexpectedly finds herself interacting with artificial intelligence, unraveling its hidden biases and ethical dilemmas.
Inspired by an article by journalist Karishma Mehrotra in ''FiftyTwo'' titled "Human Touch",[1] the film sheds light on AI bias and its disproportionate impact on women in technology.
It highlights the contributions of women in the field of data annotation and algorithmic development while questioning the growing intersection of AI and marginalized communities.
The film was developed as part of the Storiculture Impact Fellowship, which supports socially relevant storytelling in media.
