Generative AI: A global guide to key IP considerations
Artificial intelligence (AI) raises many intellectual property (IP) issues.
United Kingdom | Publication | July 2023
The Regulator has published a blog published on July 12, 2023, in which Chief Executive Nausicaa Delfas suggests that there needs to be a “fundamental mindset shift throughout the pensions industry”.
The Regulator welcomes the Government’s new package of pensions measures outlined in the Mansion House speech. It believes that widening the opportunities for CDC schemes and the introduction of a statutory regime for DB superfunds can help bring about improved governance and the necessary scale to achieve good outcomes.
However, the Regulator indicates that a mindset shift is needed in relation to sophisticated investment governance practices, the scale to drive efficiency and highly qualified trustees challenging advisers to make sure all savers get the best possible pensions.
The intention is to overhaul its DC guidance to support trustees to make well-informed investment decisions and to reflect new duties on trustees to report on their policy on illiquid investments.
In the autumn, the Regulator will provide new guidance on investing in productive finance and update its existing investment guidance for both DB and DC schemes. The new DB funding code will also clarify where DB schemes are able to accommodate investment in growth assets, particularly for open and immature schemes.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (the Recast EPBD) entered into force on 28 May 2024. The Recast EPBD repeals the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010 (the Repealed EPBD). The Repealed EPBD will remain as transposed in the laws of England and Wales, and the Recast EPDB will only be transposed into the national legislation of EU Member States. The overarching aims of the revisions set out in the Recast EPBD reflect the common themes of European climate legislation to speed up the transition to renewables and rapidly reduce energy consumption. We set out below a summary of the key provisions under the Recast EPBD, when the provisions take effect and a comparison with the Repealed EPBD.
