The source text provided is merely a page header/title ('People | GovAI') and contains no actual information about Ben Garfinkel, his role, his position as Director, or any start date. While the source is from GovAI's personnel section (confirming the organization exists), it does not contain any data that would confirm or contradict the specific claims about Ben Garfinkel's role or start date of 2021. To verify these claims, the full content of the People page would be needed.
