Howard graduated top of his class in Economics at the University of Calgary, where he also completed three PhD-level courses prior to beginning his MSc in Social Data Science at the Oxford Internet Institute. His research currently focuses on evaluating truth consistency in LLMs to understand when does AI generate “careless speech"––responses that lacks appropriate care for truth, and how to make them more reliable in high-stakes situations.
