archives in liquid times Martijn van Otterlo obtained his PhD (artificial intelligence, A.I.) from the University of Twente (Netherlands, 2008) with a dissertation on expressive knowledge representation in machine learning from evaluative feedback. He published two books on such adaptive learning algorithms (2009 IOS Press; 2012 Springer, together with Dr. Wiering). Martijn has worked on robotics, vision and language and held positions in Freiburg (Germany), Leuven (Belgium) and Nijmegen (The Netherlands). His second research interest, which arose from his expertise in A.I., concerns the ethics and implications of adaptive algorithms on privacy, surveillance and society. He has served as committee member and reviewer for dozens of international journals and conferences on machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence. In his current position at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (The Netherlands) he combines data science and ethics with his third interest: libraries. He currently studies the digitalization of physical, public libraries, and also the ethical consequences of datafication of library processes and services.
