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
Muse facilitated the setting of our strategic goals, both financial and operational, working with all our advisers and providers so that the objectives were fully integrated, not only in respect of IRM but also with regard to data, administration, member communication and governance. Their independence meant that the advisers were open and transparent in their thinking. The momentum they helped us achieve means that we are on course to provide good outcomes for our members. It also gives us a helpful framework to refresh regularly, to check that we remain on track.
Independent Trustee, Xerox Final Salary Pension Scheme
Muse took over as a fully outsourced pensions department on the retirement of our long-standing Pensions Director. We were concerned about losing Scheme knowledge, acquired over many years, but we have been delighted with Muse’s work. Their team approach mitigated our key man risk and, throughout their time with us, they have been reliable and professional, always keeping the regular business-as-usual cycle moving as well as helping us navigate more sensitive issues. The chemistry is good and they work as though they are our in-house pensions department. We appreciate their thoroughness and professionalism and feel well-supported in all areas of work.
