Kiran Rao's 'Humans in the Loop' receives spotlight at Jagran Film Festival

New Delhi, Sept 7 (UNI) Bollywood filmmaker Kiran Rao's latest directorial venture "Humans in the Loop", received a special showcase at the Jagran Film Festival, where it captivated audiences with its incisive meditation on the uneasy entanglement of technology and human life.
Known for her distinctive style and storytelling that blends creativity and relevance, Kiran Rao's Humans in the Loop explores the relationship between technology and humans.
The film delves into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is affecting human life and raises questions about trust, empathy, responsibility and human relationships, and shows how difficult it is to build trust between a human and a machine.
Through layered characters and a compelling narrative, it reinforces the idea that cinema transcends mere entertainment and can serve as a medium of reflection and inquiry.
When asked about the impact of AI on filmmaking in the near future, Kiran Rao shared, “With the speed that technology is growing, what it can and cannot do is something that even we are witnessing every day. Right now, AI is able to do moving images as well, but you must watch Human in the Loop because we are training the AI here.
"At the end of the day, humans have made AI, and AI will do only what we teach it. This is also the vision of the film that what kind of kid we are creating with AI, what kind of human it will turn into, and I feel the effect that AI will have on the industry, but now is the right time to talk about these things.
"To a great extent, technology has reduced the costs. You can make a film in your basement with a camera, and it has its own advantages also. The internet provides a vast arena of stories from various parts of the country, so what this film wants to say is the question of how we see this technology going forward in our lives. Is it going to disconnect us or is it going to give us insights and bring us closer? The fact is that the flood is already underway, which we need to see," she said. UNI NST SSP
