Law Debenture urges pension trustees to put governance first as AI adoption spreads

• AI adoption reached all pension industry respondents in an April 2026 SPP survey, up from 87% in 2025.
• The Pensions Regulator expects governance before or alongside AI implementation; trustees remain accountable when administrators or advisers use the technology.
• AI offers opportunities particularly in pension administration, but should remain a tool rather than a decision-maker.
• Principles-based guidance for trustees is due during 2026, with human responsibility and member protection central to adoption.
