Indie Meme presents Humans in the Loop

Multi-Cultural FIlm Nonprofit Events

What’s Happening?

🎞️Humans in the Loop | India | Drama | 2024 | 74 min. | Hindi, Kurukh
To support her family, Nehma takes an unusual job—'data labelling,' tagging images to help algorithms distinguish objects. Major AI firms outsource this to remote regions of India, where labor is cheap. At the centre, a common saying "AI is like a child", resonates with Nehma. Having grown up believing in life, even in inanimate objects, she connects to the metaphor. She approaches her work with care of a parent teaching their child.

As Nehma immerses herself in work, her bond with Dhaanu deteriorates. Struggling with village life, Dhaanu contemplates running away while Nehma begins to see AI as a surrogate child, hoping it will understand her perspective. But as AI mirrors human biases, Nehma questions if it can ever truly see through her indigenous lens. 

🎬Join us for a Virtual Q&A with Writer-Director Aranya Sahay following the film.

✨Awards:
Best Film Winner, FIPRESCI Award
Best Debut Film, New York Indian Film Festival 2025
