Harnessing AI’s potential while managing its risk

This webinar takes a practical look at how to harness AI's potential without compromising trust, compliance or member outcomes.

AI tools are already shaping how members search for and interpret pension information. People are increasingly asking AI direct questions about their pensions, and receiving answers drawn from scheme websites and publicly available materials online.

And while this presents a new channel for a more informed member base, member adoption of AI is moving faster than more formal AI adoption across the pensions industry. This has introduced new risks alongside the opportunity.

Large language models are great at summarising complex information. But they also get things wrong, and in some cases, can drift towards what resembles financial advice.

In this webinar, Heywood's Chris Connelly, and Quietroom's Chloe Taylor will consider:

• how ambiguous or poorly structured content is a risk waiting to be amplified by AI models
• the practical and technological guardrails needed to prevent confident misinformation
• where AI can enhance efficiency and member understanding
• why human judgement must remain central
