Humans still in the loop :)

The humans are now in the loop!

@ptrmadurai It was a pleasure having you at the screening and thank you for your thoughtful reflections on the film.

It's a settled fact in AI/ML that high-quality data alone is insufficient; sophisticated models require humans in the loop for training and evaluation. I saw this principle brought to life in Aranya Sahay’s brilliant and meditative film, Humans in the Loop. The film tells the story of Nehma, a first-generation Adivasi woman working as a data annotator in her Jharkhand village. It draws a remarkable parallel between her work training AI and the process of raising a child. As she grapples with real-world prejudices reflected in the models she trains, the film holds a mirror to our society and the future we are building. This film is based on a real-life woman worker at iMerit’s Ranchi centre; it resonated deeply, especially after I had the privilege of inaugurating iMerit's Coimbatore centre last year. Humans in the Loop is a thought-provoking film that reveals the vast, hidden workforce behind AI. It jolts us into an awareness of the pervasive biases we often overlook, even as it celebrates the amazing capacity of human empathy and intelligence.

Humans In The Loop, a film from #India about the interplay of artificial intelligence and indigenous knowledge systems, inspired by #AI labelling centres in #Jharkhand, drew a standing ovation at a special screening led by @unescoindia in #NewDelhi this weekend

Spielberg for the sharks hatred post Jaws 🤝 Aranya Sahay for the porcupines love post HUMANS IN THE LOOP. Love it when a film makes me see/love something in a new light, by humanizing (even this human word feels biased while talking about an animal after watching this film)

Caught "Humans In The Loop" in a packed theatre. Expertly juggled multiple topics at once. Some scenes would be shot from the same spot every time giving the audience comfort of surroundings. Also in certain places, felt very inspired by Kiarostami's Where Is The Friend's House.

Aranya Sahay’s Hindi-Kurukh-language film #HumansInTheLoop quietly captures the human insight behind the growing power of AI. Led by Sonal Madhushankar, the film offers an empathetic look at nature, technology, and relationships. Review: bit.ly/HumansInTheLoo…

"Humans in the Loop" is out now in Bangalore, India's first movie about AI. Watch it before it gets removed. Only one show per day. Ticket link in next tweet.

Humans in the Loop by Aranya Sahay got 8/10 on FCGR! The film is currently in the theatres. Read the reviews below ⬇️ #HumansInTheLoop

I recently saw Humans of Loop (2024) and it left me speechless. The film is brilliantly made and explores AI critically, which is rarely discussed. It's only in theatres for a short time, so I urge everyone to see it.

Delhi: On screening of the movie Humans in the Loop, filmmaker Kiran Rao says, "...It should be mandatory viewing because this film deals with very, very important issues on AI, technology, and the role it can play in our lives and in representing us. So it's also a very beautifully made film...''

With 'Humans In The Loop,' Aranya Sahay infuses a refreshing human core into a narrative talking about the relationship between humanity and technology. It reminds us that behind every machine, there are emotions that can't be ignored. It's a conversation starter. #FilmTwitter
