Big Brother is Watching: AI and The Politics of Presence in Indian Literature & Cinema

Author(s) Ms. Krishnaa Rani Dash, Dr. Manisha Mishra
Country India
Abstract From the affirmation of easier lifestyles to monitoring lives day in and day out, the Indian digital spheres have created an actual space for debate over the politics of presence. As such, one of the most pressing concerns can naturally revolve around Artificial Intelligence, the modern-day ‘big brother’ that is readily keeping a watch. Ranging from smartphones to CCTVs, social media algorithms, and many more, Artificial intelligence is confirming its presence in people’s everyday lives. Whether consciously or unconsciously, in a way, people are apparently allowing artificial intelligence to be a part of their private lives as well. While larger authorities, like any governmental organization, are incorporating various smart AI systems to track the public substantially, AI is also monitoring individuals personally. Through location trackers, encrypted chats, personalized recommendations on social media, predictive text formatting, biometric authentication, e-commerce trackers, facial recognition systems, and the list goes on. Individuals are webbed within these macro & micro chains of surveillance, and life obviously seems impossible any other way these days. At such a juncture, Literature can be considered a liminal space for reframing perspectives on artificial intelligence. Moving beyond the frame of science and synthesis, how diversely Literature and Cinema blend AI and human lives, becomes essential to ponder. The way digital crossroads featuring AI have intertwined individual lives warrants close observation from a literary perspective, delving into people’s social spheres. Not just scripts, but also screens, and how they are reimagining and reframing the omnipresence of artificial intelligence while leaving room for countless other interpretations, create a wide-arching scope of research in today’s digital space. This paper intends to critically analyze the concerns about artificial intelligence through the lens of Indian science fiction texts and films.
