The provided source text is a homepage excerpt from GovAI's website that does not contain any information about Allan Dafoe, his position as Founding Director, or the dates of his employment (2018-2023). While the source is from GovAI's own website, it does not address the specific personnel claim. To verify this record, a source that explicitly discusses Allan Dafoe's role and tenure at GovAI would be needed (such as a team page, biography, or organizational history). The absence of information in this particular excerpt does not contradict the claim—it simply does not address it.
