You will get 40 seconds to answer each CAPTCHA.

You have to mark and label the object mentioned in the question.

Once your time is up, the form is locked.

So hurry up and finish it quickly, okay?

Nehma!

Only 30 seconds left. Please wrap up your tests quickly.

Your time is up!

Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.

What happened?

I couldn't do it.

Let me talk to her.

Don't worry.

Madam, please? Give her a chance.

You can place her on probation. But please do consider her.

Phulmani, she couldn't manage a simple CAPTCHA test.

How will she manage other complicated photos and videos?

Even a 10-year-old can pull this off.

She'll learn quickly, madam.

Please. She really needs this job.

Phulmani, do you think I can hire anyone?

Is she educated at all?

Yes, ma'am.

She graduated a decade ago.

She had to quit to move to the city.

Fine. How good is she with computers?

She does know a little bit.

We were taught IT in college for a year.

Where does she stay now?

In a nearby village, close to Jonha Falls.

She can walk to work.

I don't think she can do this.

I can't really hire any random person for this job. Can I, Phulmani?

She is a Dhukni, madam.

She needs the job to secure her daughter's custody.

Please sit there.

You're a tribal?

Yes.

And you belong to a forward caste?

Yes, sir.

Look. We can't do much in cases of a Dhuku marriage.

This falls outside the purview of a traditional marriage.

Dhuku isn't exactly a formal marriage.

You two were just living together.

In such cases, we usually award the custody to the mother.

Nehma, since you don't really have the resources to take care of the children

I think you should take the custody of the children, Mr. Ritesh.

Thank you, sir.

Nehma, if you have a problem with this decision

we can review it again in a couple of months.

- You've taken up a job? - Yes, sir.

It says you're on probation for three months.

What is this job about?

Sir, it's a job at an Artificial Intelligence Center.

- Will you be able to manage? - Yes, sir.

- Are you in agreement with this? - No, sir.

We'll have to take this to court since you aren't--

You almost gave me the custody and now you're mentioning the court.

Who will the child stay with until then?

It's already been six months. This will only continue to drag.

How is this fair?

I keep having to take time off work to be here.

I have to take leaves.

Even if it takes 6 months or a year, your separation will be complete.

What's the rush?

Sir, I'm getting married.

Dhaanu doesn't want to go with you.

You're getting married?

My brother and his wife want me to get married again.

What do you want?

They want you to cut ties with a savage. Don't they?

You haven't been home in a year.

Spare me your sermons.

- Did you bother asking me why I left? - I didn't have to!

A woman who abandons her family on a whim--

So you decided that Dhuku isn't really a marriage

and that it's time to get married for real?

Let her stay with me.

Nehma!

I'll call you.

Okay?

Is there life in these boulders?

Yes.

Is there life in these clouds as well?

Yes.

Is there life in this harvested paddy?

Yes, there is.

What about these dried sticks?

There's life in them as well.

My father tells me that everything around us has life in it.

If you put your ear on a boulder, you can hear its heartbeat.

Roshan.

Come here.

I think this is the porcupine's cave.

Who told you about the cave?

My father told me.

Our ancestors painted every cave to let others know

about the animals that live here.

This should be the porcupine's cave.

- Really? - Hush!

Porcupines are the shyest animals in the forest.

They never go near anybody.

Really? Nobody at all?

Hush! It will hear you.

Ask them to redo and submit it before the review meeting.

- Greetings! - Greetings.

Welcome! New batch.

Yes, ma'am.

Who do we work for?

Artificial Intelligence!

Wow! Everybody knows everything.

Come on now!

Let me show you the main working room.

Come with me.

Come in.

Come. Take a look.

Observe carefully.

What is this? It makes no sense to me.

- Look here. - Yes?

I don't understand if this is ginger or raw turmeric.

Why do you always complicate things?

I think he picked up ginger.

Looks like turmeric to me.

But what would white people do with turmeric?

Have you heard of turmeric latte?

- Forget it. Let's focus on our task. - What's the confusion?

Ma'am, we're having issues

with this AI mart project.

We're not able to tell if this is ginger or raw turmeric.

I'm not sure either.

- They look exactly the same. - They do.

It's turmeric.

Ginger has small bulbs.

Turmeric doesn't.

Correct.

Label it as turmeric.

This is our job.

Data labeling.

AI is like a child.

We teach it to differentiate between things.

Like raw turmeric and ginger.

We get raw data, in the form of photos, videos

and we label it according to our project.

We have clients of facial recognition.

For them, we need to label facial features like nose, eyes, etcetera.

Eventually, with time, AI learns.

For this we have to label thousands of photos and videos.

You've to believe that you've been handed a great responsibility.

What happened?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, ma'am.

Come with me. Let me show you how it works.

This is skeletal labeling.

You've to draw outlines

on all moving figures.

When you feed this data to this AI figure

it gradually learns to walk properly.

Eventually, it won't just walk.

It will learn to jump, run and play too.

This will be your first task.

It is a little difficult.

But give it a try.

All given tasks are reviewed every week.

The task is timed too.

Got it? Now come with me.

So, how does this robot work?

It begins by making a random motion.

Randomly moving the modes...

Okay? This is kind of like dabbling. So, it begins by dabbling.

Just moving the modes in a random way.

You know that most of the things a robot is imagining are wrong.

But as far as the robot knows, these are various hypothesis about what it is.

Why aren't you returning my calls?

I don't like it here at all.

There is no network or internet here.

One has to walk really far even to make a call.

On top of that, mom wakes us up early in the morning and takes us to the forest.

Did she say anything about school?

She hasn't said anything yet.

She said it'll take a couple of days.

Dhaanu!

Dhaanu!

Dhaanu! What were you doing there?

I went downhill for two minutes.

I asked you to look after Guntu! Is this how one takes care of a child?

- Then don't go for work. - What if he got hurt?

Let me put you in your place.

Got me in trouble now. Didn't you?

What are you trying to do, Guntu?

Mom! Come here quickly!

Guntu is trying to walk!

Mom!

Hurry up! Guntu's standing!

Very good!

Now walk!

Hurry! Look!

Guntu!

- My dear Guntu wants to walk? - Come on.

Come on, walk slowly.

Come in.

Finished half an hour early?

Let me show you something interesting.

This is an extract from last batch's data.

Every week, we run a quality check.

If the quality is good, the body movement of the AI figures are natural.

If not, the movement has jerks.

I'll add yours now.

Let's see how it turns out.

Wow!

It is walking.

You taught it how to walk.

Very good work.

Dhaanu, get up.

Get up, Dhaanu.

Get ready quickly.

I've picked your outfit. Lets head out to the forest.

Whenever you uproot a sweet potato, pull it horizontally

so that the surrounding plants aren't damaged.

Once you uproot it, try to fill the soil back.

So that the insects and other organisms are protected.

Feel this.

It is because of them that we're able to breathe.

All living organisms depend on them.

Dhaanu, come over here.

Look...

This worm protects a plant by eating the rotting bits of a leaf.

Let's go, Dhaanu.

I don't want to walk anymore.

Why are you doing all of this?

Why do it now when you never tried in the past?

- What am I doing? - All of this.

Picking sweet potatoes, singing and taking me around?

Did you even bother asking me whether I want to stay here or not?

And now? You've dumped me here.

You abandon me whenever you feel like it and dump me here on a whim?

Uttering your father's words, aren't you?

Regardless of what my father was like

he never drugged me to put me to sleep.

Wait, Dhaanu!

You think you can walk away from me?

Your father put you up to this. Right?

Dhaanu!

Do you hear a heartbeat?

No. Not yet.

- Roshan? - Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I teach here.

Who made you a teacher?

What kind of a question is that? Well, I am one now.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Weren't you in Ranchi?

I was. But I moved back.

Why?

I got my daughter admitted here.

- Which class is she in? - This one.

- This one? - Yes.

- This is the class that I teach. - Okay.

- What's your daughter's name? - Dhaanu.

- Dhaanu? - Yes.

Nice.

It's time for my class. Shall we meet later?

- Sure. - Okay.

What are you guys doing?

- What is the capital of India? - New Delhi!

- What is the capital of Jharkand? - Ranchi!

Today's subject is Agriculture-Related Labeling.

Today, we'll teach AI to identify and differentiate between weeds...

Pests like insects and worms.

Crops and agricultural equipment.

We'll teach it to differentiate between all of them.

Every label, for instance in pests...

You're looking at some examples.

Every label has a specific use.

For example...

When we label pests, this AI-driven machine

can destroy them with precision.

- Madam. - Yes?

Not now. Watch now. Ask the questions later.

Come on.

Everyone, form pairs.

Okay. Very good.

Everybody is not in pairs yet.

Will somebody team up with Dhaanu?

Won't any of you join her?

Talk to her.

Play with her.

Go, play with her.

Want to play?

Move your hand around like this. Come on.

Now, the other way round

Yeah, like that.

Everybody, spin!

Should we go for it?

- Have you ever gone around the village? - No. I haven't.

Fine. Let me take you around.

This is my hamlet.

If you turn left from here, you'll reach my house.

If you head straight this way, you'll reach the forest.

Let's go.

- Come on. Slow down! - Hurry up!

This is our ancestral tree.

All right. Look at the quality of agro-data.

Things are just looking a bit haywire.

The subjects have either been missed or mislabeled.

There's heaps and heaps of your data which is just a bit unusable--

No. We'll figure out where the lapse is.

I'm really sorry, but if this is the quality of work you wish to deliver...

- Then we have to reconsider our options-- - Please trust me.

We don't like to nitpick like this, okay?

But this is affecting our output now and there is no way around it.

Don't worry. We'll figure it out.

Please try to understand. Figure out the QC process.

Or identify the labelers messing up.

We'll review this next week.

But please know, we can't have the output suffer

because of poor-quality trained data.

We'll reconvene next week. Thank you.

Bye, Alka. Bye, Mark.

Okay. All right. Bye, Jason.

And we'll see you next week, Alka.

Nehma, madam is asking for you.

Okay.

Yes, ma'am?

Did you ask for me?

Nehma, what did you label a pest as today?

As a pest.

What about this?

That is not a pest, madam.

It doesn't harm the plants.

I wanted to tell you during the presentation.

It's not a pest.

It does eat the leaves

but only the rotten bits.

So that the rest of the plant survives.

It doesn't harm the plant.

AI is like a child.

If we feed it wrong information, it will learn wrong things.

You see, Nehma.

If the client says its a pest

then it is a pest.

Your job is to label the data. Stick to that.

Don't try to be a smart-alec.

'AI is like a child, more crap and bullshit.'

You really think AI is a child?

Who allowed you to bring your child to work?

Raising a family in my office.

Now go and finish your work!

Shall we wash your face, too?

Did you like the sound of the birds chirping?

It was nice.

Do you still want to move to the city?

Tomorrow, I'll show you

how rabbits build their burrows in the field.

Malti?

What are you doing with her?

I forbade you, didn't I?

Don't you know that she's a Dhukni's daughter?

You'll make life difficult for us in this village.

Let's go!

I've forbidden you, but you don't listen to me.

Do you want to turn into a Dhukni, too?

I'm coming.

How will she find her way back from the forest?

Fine. Ask her to come along. We'll drop her home.

Don't cry, my child.

We'll eat now. Okay?

We'll roam around.

Guntu. Come here, my dear child.

Dhaanu...

Why are you shutting the door?

Dhaanu!

She's not opening the door.

Open the door, my dear.

Tell me if something happened.

The number you're trying to reach is switched off right now.

Please try again later.

The subscriber is currently switched off.

Please try after some time.

Dhaanu.

I'm going to work.

I've put Guntu to sleep. Watch over him.

Ranchi city. Two hours to destination via State Highway 54.

Head straight and turn left in 300 meters.

The road merges on to State Highway 54.

Re-routing the map.

Turn right and merge with the State Highway 54.

Roshan, I can't find Dhaanu and Guntu!

- Come with me. - Let's go.

Wait here. I'll be back in two minutes.

I'll be right back. Sit tight.

Guntu! Wait right there! I'm coming!

What was that?

Hello, Brother?

Yes, I checked. She's not here.

The villagers are searching in the other valley.

Did you find her?

No, I haven't found her either.

We are going towards the main road to look for her.

Ask him if he searched by the pond.

Did you look near the pond?

- Yes. I checked over there. - Ask him about the steel bridge.

Wait! I'm looking this side!

What happened?

Do you see her?

No, she's not here either!

The villagers can't find her either.

What about the temple? Did they look there?

Yes. I checked near the temple, too.

- Is that Dhaanu? - Yes.

Mister, please stop.

Stop the car!

Dhaanu!

Are you okay?

Where were you going?

Answer me! Where were you going?

Were you trying to leave the village?

I'm talking to you!

Were you really trying to leave the village?

How dare you take Guntu with you?

Go wherever you want to!

Don't you dare take Guntu with you!

Did you even bother asking why I'm leaving the village?

Why should I? Tell me!

Your mind is filled with your father's venom!

You keep repeating his words!

You keep talking to him all day!

I was panicking and looking for you all over!

All of this is your father's influence.

Your mind is filled with his venom!

At least, he never drugged me to put me sleep--

What did you say?!

- How dare you say that? - Stop! Don't hit a child!

Why are you doing that?

Look at her speaking nonsense!

No need to bring her with us. Let's go.

Let her go wherever she wants!

Come on now. Let's go.

What are you doing here this late?

Still not done with the task?

Do you know the use of today's task?

No?

Let me show you.

This is an AI Art Generator.

They want to test their prototype.

All of these photos, paintings that you are labeling...

The technology takes it all in to generate its own painting.

Shall we generate your painting?

Let's do it.

Let's see what it generates.

Strange. We fed the word 'Tribal' and this...

It shouldn't be generating this.

Let's go with 'Indian Tribal'.

Maybe the search spectrum will widen.

What?!

Aren't these images more like that of a Native American?

What happened, Nehma?

Is something bothering you?

You were right that day.

AI is indeed like a child.

If we feed it wrong information, it'll learn wrong things.

Do you know where we're going wrong?

We're feeding it the data that the client gives us.

If only we could feed it photos and videos of the reality around us...

Maybe then the results will look like us.

Right?

Isn't this what you were trying to tell me?

Why didn't you come to school today?

Was it because of me?

Or was it because of my sister?

Dhaanu, where are you?

I've been trying to reach you for two days.

Hello?

Is everything okay, my dear?

Why haven't you been calling me?

Is it because of your mother?

It's me.

Where is Dhaanu?

She's at home.

I'm at work.

What are you doing with her phone?

Ask her to call me once you reach home.

Everybody was saying that you got lost in the forest.

How did you get out?

That's a porcupine quill.

What...

Don't you know?

Porcupines are very shy animals.

They live in caves.

They don't come close to anybody.

Its body is made of thousands of quills like this one.

Looks like a mouse. Stays hidden.

Where did you find this?

Did your mother give you this?

I have an off tomorrow. Should I come and get you?

You'll get some time at home.

No, Dad. Mom needs to go to work tomorrow.

I have to take care of Guntu and I have school tomorrow.

What is there to even study in that school?

I don't like it either. But I have made a friend. Malti.

Malti?

I'm shooting a video of yours.

We make birdhouses out of these

Disgusting!

Why did you think my mother gave me this?

Don't you know?

My mother used to tell me this.

When your mother was young, she had tamed a porcupine.

It would stay with her for a long time.

They would play together for hours in the forest.

Many people have spotted her playing with the porcupine.

The entire village knew about it.

Could it be the same porcupine?

Madam?

I've brought something for the AI art generator.

What is it?

I've tried something.

Is it? Let's take a look.

This is my folder.

There.

See. It's just like I told you.

AI can change.

It just needs a little time

and a whole lot of data.

Just a small piece of that headgear from earlier remains.

Rest is all from your data.

Dhaanu! Guntu!

Dhaanu! Guntu!

Dhaanu! Guntu!

Forgive me, my child.

I didn't understand your anger.

All I could hear was your father's voice.

I've been through so much

that I failed to see I could be wrong, too.

Please forgive me, my child.

Your dad is calling.

Hello? Dhaanu?

Did you really try running away?

I spoke to someone in the village.

Why didn't you call me?

Listen.

I'm coming to get you tomorrow.

There's no need for you to stay there.

Okay?

Not now, Dad.

What do you mean?

I'll tell you later.

Don't you want to come to the city?

Not right now.

Okay. Call me when you feel like it. Bye.

Okay, Dad.

Do you hear a heartbeat now?

Yes. I can hear it now.
