I just watched Humans in the Loop, what a beautifully crafted film. It explores the relationship between AI and humanity through the story of a woman in rural India who works as a data labeler. This one scene just stuck with me: The woman was tasked with identifying pests in agricultural images, and one scene in particular stayed with me. As a tribal woman who knows the forest deeply, she can easily distinguish between insects that are harmful to plants and those that are harmless. When she labels a harmless insect as “not a pest,” she’s reprimanded because she’s expected to follow instructions, not her knowledge. This puts her in a painful ethical dilemma: if she labels a harmless creature as a pest, she knows it will be exterminated. It’s a subtle, powerful reflection on how AI systems, when detached from lived experience, can end up harming the environment. The film also highlights how biased data distorts the systems meant to help us. In another moment, she searches for “tribal woman,” expecting to see someone who looks like her but the AI returns images of white women dressed in tribal attire. Realizing the system lacks cultural understanding, she begins feeding it photos she’s taken in her own village teaching the AI what a real Adivasi woman looks like and grounding it in authentic cultural context. Humans in the loop is a solid reminder of why ethical AI matters and how technology, no matter how advanced, can never replace the warmth, wisdom, and emotional depth of human experience.
