This special edition of “Hymans Robertson On…” explores the reality of artificial intelligence in pensions, recorded live at our Pensions and Retirement Conference 2025.

In this session, we cut through the hype to examine the true potential and true risks of AI, across the pensions and retirement landscape. From efficiency gains and smarter decision-making to ethical challenges and regulatory uncertainty, our panellists share candid insights on what AI means for the future of our industry.

We explore how AI can enhance member outcomes, the importance of transparency and governance, and the practical steps schemes and providers should be taking today to prepare for tomorrow. With real-world examples and a focus on responsible innovation, this conversation separates the promise from the pitfalls.
