Abstract
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an important theme in Indian cinema. Taking note of Indian filmmakers’ interest in AI, this article examines the Hindi-language short film Anukul directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Based on a short story by the legendary auteur Satyajit Ray, the film draws us to a posthuman world order in which machines have assumed rights and threaten to push humans out of the loop. The AI–human interface in Anukul provokes a number of ethical questions and this article aims to think through some of the ethical and legal concerns raised in the film.
