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

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
Rosanne and Julia facilitated an online session for the Trustee Board on strategic planning and agreeing our objectives for member experience, considering administration service delivery and member communications and engagement. It was a focused, positive and engaging session despite it having to be held online rather than face to face as we’d planned. It helped us make progress and we had a meaningful discussion as a board. All the trustee directors were able to share candid views and ideas on what is important to us as a board and to members. We got a lot of value out of it - and more to the point now have a basis to agree long-term non-financial objectives for the pension scheme.
Chair and Trustee Director, National Grid Electricity Group Trustee Limited
We appointed Muse through a competitive tender to support our actuarial selection process as a result of the thoroughness of their approach, their deep knowledge of the market and value for money. Their support was invaluable in helping us to concentrate on what would make the difference for us from our Actuary so that we could make the selection from some very strong candidates. The team was flexible and approachable; they managed the project for us professionally to ensure that the candidate firms were well briefed and engaged with the project. Muse played an important part in enabling us to select a firm best suited to our requirements and ways of working.
