Humans in the Loop

A Joint Film Screening & Faculty–Student Interaction

TARU is pleased to announce a one-of-its-kind academic and cultural exchange between Tampere University and National Institute of Technology Silchar, bringing together faculty and students for a shared engagement with cinema, artificial intelligence, and indigenous futures.

The event features a special screening of Humans in the Loop, followed by an interaction with the film’s director, Aranya Sahay.

Set in Jharkhand, the film follows Nehma, an indigenous woman who begins working as a data labeler—training AI systems to recognize and interpret the world. As she navigates this invisible yet essential labour, the film raises critical questions about bias, technology, and whether artificial intelligence can ever reflect an Indigenous worldview.
