Artificial intelligence (AI) is moving fast in pensions. In this special edition of Hymans Robertson On…, Dan McMahon from Hymans Robertson Personal Wealth is joined by Jo Darbyshire from Local Pensions Partnership Administration (LPPA), Ted Mackereth from Just Group and Scott Finnie from Hymans Robertson to explore what this means in practice.
From AI-powered meeting minutes and query routing to faster software development, the conversation stays grounded in real use cases. It also looks at why member-facing AI is still rare and what schemes can do to help members access their own data safely.
The panel digs into the big blocker too: data quality. “Garbage in, garbage out” still applies, but AI adds new risks even when your data is right. Trustees may want to treat data quality like cybersecurity on the risk register.
They close with practical thoughts on governance, people and responsible use, so you can test ideas without losing human judgement and creativity.
