Screen Film Club - Humans in the Loop

An Adivasi woman begins interacting with AI while working in a data centre in the remote Indian state of Jharkhand. After a divorce, Nehma returns to her tribal village with her children. To support her family, she takes an unusual job as a `data labeller`. She trains algorithms to see & distinguish objects, approaching the task with the care of a parent teaching a child. As she works, Nehma uncovers human biases in AI systems, questioning if AI can truly adapt to an indigenous perspective.
