about the book

it's in our food, our cosmetics, our fuel and our bodies. palm oil, found in half of supermarket products, has shaped our world. max haiven uncovers how the gears of capitalism are literally and metaphorically lubricated by this ubiquitous elixir.

from its origins in west africa to today's southeast asian palm oil superpowers, haiven's sweeping, experimental narrative takes us on a global journey that includes looted treasures, the american system of mass incarceration, the history of modern art and the industrialisation of war. beyond simply calling for more consumer boycotts, he argues for recognising in palm oil humanity's profound potential to shape our world beyond racial capitalism and neo-colonial dispossession.

one part history, one part dream, one part theory, one part montage, this kaleidoscopic and urgent book asks us to recognise the past in the present and to seize the power to make a better world.

"in autonomy we trust: building trustworthy autonomous systems for a safer future"

friday, october 7th, 2022
11:30 am

abstract:
the autonomy revolution promises to radically improve our lives in the near future. from autonomous vehicles (i.e., self-driving cars) to drones (uavs) and autonomous robots in our homes and workplaces, autonomous systems have immense potential to take over routine and tedious tasks, and maximize our productivity and well-being. unfortunately, as recent incidents have shown, failures and security vulnerabilities of these systems can erode our society’s trust in them, which can prevent us from realizing their immense benefits. in this talk, i will argue that it is vitally important to build autonomous systems that are trustworthy by design, in order to engender our society’s trust in them. i will provide some examples of the research we are doing in my group to build trustworthy autonomous systems, and develop a scientific basis for the same. these projects address the issues of reliability, resilience, and adaptivity, which are the three essential components of trustworthiness. finally, i will conclude by presenting my vision of the future challenges and opportunities in this area.
