Topic and speakers

Our topic this year is “Artificial Intelligence for Actuaries – a legal perspective”. With AI becoming increasingly prevalent, what do actuaries need to know to mitigate the risks and exploit the opportunities? We will be covering:

What is AI?
AI Law and Regulation;
Practical examples and case experience;
A discussion of AI in Pensions – what should we and our clients be thinking about?

The speakers will be:

Tom Whittaker – Tom is a director in the dispute resolution and technology teams at Burges Salmon who regularly advises and trains clients on AI regulation, law and governance. He was lead author of the chapter on Public Law and Procurement Law and AI in the practitioner’s textbook the Law of Artificial Intelligence (2024) and is on multiple industry AI-working groups. Tom was awarded lawyer of the year at the Bristol Law Society awards 2024 for his and the Burges Salmon AI team’s work regarding AI regulation and policy.

Chris Brown – Chris is a partner in the pensions and lifetime savings team at Burges Salmon who advises trustees, employers and providers on all pensions issues. He has a particular interest in AI and is currently contributing to draft industry guidance for pension scheme trustees.

Although the presentation will have points of particular interest for pension actuaries, there will be content of general relevance and so all actuaries are welcome.
