Film Screening
A groundbreaking 72-minute Hindi-Kurukh film follows Nehma, an Adivasi woman from Jharkhand’s Oraon tribe who trains AI systems as a data labeller. Director Aranya Sahay (FTII) was inspired by journalist Karishma Mehrotra’s exposé, revealing how over 70,000 Indians—mostly rural women—form AI’s invisible workforce.
“A striking, human-centered view of AI from the ground up.”
The 72-minute film will be followed by a discussion on the hidden role of data workers in AI.
Snacks and warm drinks will be available!
This film screening is a part of the AI Policy Lab Day programme.
