A story about the people behind AI
Produced under Stori culture’s Impact Fellowship and Sauv Films, and supported by the Museum of Imagined Futures, Humans in the Loop tells the story of an Adivasi (indigenous) woman from rural India who works at a data-labelling center, training AI models. Through her journey, the film explores the unseen cultural and emotional contributions that shape the global artificial intelligence industry.
The film was executive produced by National Award-winning filmmaker Biju Toppo and acclaimed filmmaker-producer Kiran Rao, both of whom played a key role in guiding its theatrical run and helping it reach wider audiences.
Kiran Rao on the film’s vision
Sharing her thoughts on the film, Kiran Rao said “From the very first time I saw Humans in the Loop, I was moved by its honesty and vision. It speaks to the invisible labour that powers our modern world — with such tenderness and urgency. I’m thrilled that the film now has a global home on Netflix, reaching audiences everywhere who will see a part of themselves in its story. It’s a rare film, intimate and political at once, and I couldn’t be prouder to have been a part of its journey.”
Aranya Sahay on taking the story global
Director Aranya Sahay expressed excitement about the Netflix release, saying, “Being on Netflix feels like a powerful next step for Humans in the Loop. The film was always meant to start conversations about the invisible human labour that builds AI, and Netflix gives us the opportunity to take that dialogue to a truly global audience. It’s wonderful to know that more people will now be able to watch the film and engage in meaningful discussions.”
