About

Donna Schreuter is a rising scholar in human-computer interaction, with a focused expertise in the social dynamics of conversational AI. Her research critically examines how users form trust and compliance with digital assistants, a domain where her work is gaining traction. Her most-cited paper, "Trust Me on This One: Conforming to Conversational Assistants" (2021, 16 citations), is a foundational study that explores the psychological mechanisms driving users to accept and act upon advice from voice-based agents, even when it contradicts their own judgment. This contribution is pivotal for understanding the subtle power these systems wield in everyday decision-making. Schreuter’s work bridges cognitive science and interface design, offering essential insights for building more ethical and transparent AI. While her citation count is still growing, her research is already shaping conversations about user autonomy and system influence. For students and researchers, Schreuter represents a new generation of HCI thinkers tackling the pressing question of how we navigate trust in an increasingly automated world.
