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 was a highly valued resource to both the Trustee and our executive team. They helped us focus on our strategic priorities, whilst also helping the team deliver and move the scheme towards its goals. Along with this, they were a safe pair of hands delivering the regular business-as-usual work in the quarterly cycles. We enjoyed working together and appreciated their pragmatism and wider market views. Muse's team has added value at various levels of the organisation and helped us through a period of significant change.
CEO, National Grid - Trustee Executive Limited
We appointed Muse Advisory for our first external review of board effectiveness. It was undertaken independently by Muse in line with good practice under the UK corporate governance code whilst recognising we are a young organisation building the business for our LGPS shareholders. It was a thorough process but not at all disruptive, with strong involvement of Board, Executive and wider stakeholders. There was a lot of relevant feedback with useful ideas in the Muse report, with a clear presentation of the findings enabling us to discuss and agree the actions to take forward. Overall, it has been a comprehensive and insightful piece of work by Muse.
Chair, Border to Cost Pensions Partnership
We have very much valued working with Muse in a review of our pension administration arrangements. The Muse team was incredibly helpful in helping us prepare for the review, in guiding us through the various assessment stages, and in helping us to get to the right decision for our Schemes. The documentation produced during the process, from the RfP itself, through to the reporting in support of the decision making process, has been first class. I would like to offer my sincere thanks and gratitude for all of the hard work, commitment and support. The Muse team were an absolute delight to work in partnership with, on what could potentially have been a difficult programme.
