Dr. Eike Schneiders is a Lecturer at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Aalborg University and is a recipient of the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub Early Career Researcher Award. His research focuses on autonomous and AI-infused systems, investigating how to ensure their trustworthiness and responsible interaction with humans and other agents through interdisciplinary collaborations across art, law, and medicine. His recent work explores the societal impact of Generative AI, particularly examining its influence on legal services accessibility for non-experts through the REGALS project (Principal Investigator) and its effects on creative communities via the ART-I project (Co-Investigator). Dr. Schneiders emphasizes public engagement to enhance AI literacy and employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to study human-computer interaction and ethical implications. Dr. Schneiders teaches courses including COMP6251 (Web and Cloud Application Development), ELEC6259 (Research Methods and Project Preparation), and ELEC6200 (Group Design Project). His pedagogical approach integrates foundational technical skills with critical research methodologies. He has led several interdisciplinary projects including ARTificial Intelligence: Show Me a Story about AI (ART-I) and Responsible Employment of Generative AI for Legal Services (REGALS), and contributes to the Agents, Interaction and Complexity research group. His Cat Royale project received the 2024 Webby Award for Best Integrated Experience. Honors include the Best Paper Award at ACM CHI 2024, multiple Honourable Mentions at CHI and TAS Symposiums, and membership in the Foundation for Science and Technology's Future Leaders Programme.
