AI governance

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving considerable change across many industries, including pensions, and whilst there are significant potential benefits available, the risks are real as well. Jo Fellowes explores where AI is currently being used and developed in the pensions industry and considers the changes in Trustee governance required to oversee data, security and cyber risk as AI use continues to evolve.

The key risks for Trustee Boards may not be what you think

We all know that the world is changing – and changing more quickly than ever. Everywhere we look we see evidence of this – geopolitics, climate change, AI are just three areas where the status quo is not what it was a year or even a month ago. How can Trustee Boards address such significant change? In this case study by Amanda Cullen, we shine a light on what worked well when working with a Trustee Board on their strategic thinking.

Testimonials

Muse bring a helpful and experienced objectivity to projects which helps guide the Trustee Board through some important decision making with pace.
Former Head of Marks & Spencer Pension Trust, Marks & Spencer Pension Trust Limited
Muse were able to understand the different styles and requirements of our two Trustee Boards and guide them both through a process, which resulted in a robust decision having carefully considered the right sort of provider and the requirements of the service. Their insights into the market and broad understanding of the part covenant advice plays in integrated risk management was invaluable in evaluating the market, and their facilitated process helped maximise effective use of pensions staff and trustee time.
Pensions Operations Manager, ScottishPower and Manweb Pension Schemes
We appointed Muse to step in when our long-standing Pensions Manager announced his retirement. Their team managed to get up to speed quickly, complete an effective handover and ensure our day-to-day business continues to run, whilst at the same time helping us select, appoint and transition to a new administrator. Muse has become a key part of our team, coordinating activities across advisers. The Muse team has spotted opportunities to bring governance and market insight into the day to day management of our schemes. We feel we are in good hands and, importantly, enjoy working together.
