DIGITAL & HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

The world’s first human-centric standard for AI governance and workforce wellbeing.

Why DHI?

The global AI race is on. Nations are competing for leadership, companies are battling for market share, and a new divide is emerging, not just between countries or firms, but between entire industries.

Some industries are digitally fluent enough to spot deepfakes and manipulation. Others, including construction, healthcare, and finance risk being blindsided. The result? Trust gaps in boardrooms, uneven investor confidence, and new vulnerabilities across workforces.

Yet most governance frameworks focus on protecting systems, not people. They don’t prevent burnout, don’t address procurement liability, and don’t give boards the assurance packs regulators and investors now demand.

For boards and executive leaders, the risks are clear:

Procurement Liability
AI risk crystallises at the point of purchase. You cannot hold a machine accountable, but you can hold directors liable for the tools they approve.

Regulatory & Investor Pressure
The EU AI Act, ESG disclosures, and ISO 42001 require evidence. Boards unable to produce audit-ready artefacts risk fines, reputational damage, and loss of investor trust.

Workforce Wellbeing & Retention
AI-driven burnout, technostress, and digital fatigue are now governance issues. Neglecting them drives attrition, reduces productivity, and undermines ESG “S” metrics.

Industry Divide & Trust Gaps
Boards in less digitally fluent industries are exposed to misinformation and manipulation risks that more agile sectors can navigate with ease

Inclusion & Accessibility Failures
AI systems that exclude neurodiverse and vulnerable groups expose organisations to reputational risk, legal challenge, and missed talent opportunities.

DHI provides the solution: the world’s first human-centric, auditable standard that integrates wellbeing, ethics, procurement, and accountability into a single model.
