Introducing our AI Ethics Council to advance responsible innovation

Artificial intelligence has the power to transform work for the better. But only if it’s developed responsibly. At Dayforce, we believe AI should accelerate innovation while safeguarding fairness, transparency, and trust. That’s why we’re proud to announce the Dayforce AI Ethics Council: a group of distinguished experts from outside Dayforce who will guide us to build AI that helps empower people, communities, and society. 

Why we formed the AI Ethics Council 

AI creates big opportunities, but also important responsibilities. As it becomes more deeply embedded in HCM, important questions about privacy, compliance, worker rights, governance, and fairness arise. Importantly, we need to always ask ourselves whether we should apply AI as a solution in different situations, not simply whether we can. We formed the council to ensure Dayforce continues leading with integrity in AI, balancing innovation with accountability and respect for the people our technology is designed to serve. 

Our approach to ethical AI 

The council reflects and strengthens our ongoing commitment to responsible innovation. We hope to understand challenges, co-create solutions, drive engagement through candid conversations, and represent those most impacted by AI-powered systems. Grounding the council’s work in these principles, we can anticipate challenges, surface new opportunities, and ensure diverse perspectives are part of the conversation. 

Who is on the council? 

The AI Ethics Council brings together leaders from diverse disciplines: 
 

• Miranda Bogen, Director of the AI Governance Lab, Center for Democracy and Technology 

• Agnes Bundy Scanlan, President, Cambridge Group 

• Merve Hickok, Founder, AIethicist.org 

• Dr. Nicol Turner Lee, Ph.D., AI governance expert and author 

• Greg Vert, Principal, Human Capital Applied AI Leader, Deloitte 

Within Dayforce, the council will be co-chaired by David Lloyd, Chief AI Officer, and Jason Rahlan, Global Head of Sustainability and Impact.  

The value of external guidance 

Bringing this group together will create important benefits for Dayforce. The council's insights will spark innovation by introducing new ideas, and it will also ensure that the consideration of key stakeholder perspectives is incorporated into our decision-making processes.

Building solutions that make work life better 

Launching the AI Ethics Council is the latest step in our mission to develop AI solutions that drive efficiency and serve the greater good. By embedding expert insights into our innovation strategy, we reinforce our commitment to fairness, transparency, and trust. Because responsibly built AI makes work life better.
