Section 1
The premise
ERISA fiduciary defense rests on documenting prudent process. Vague minutes lose lawsuits. AI can draft minutes that show the committee actually considered alternatives, weighed evidence, and made a documented decision — leaving the chair to verify and sign.
What AI does well here
- Convert raw committee notes into structured minutes.
- Show alternatives considered and reasons for selection.
- Document the data sources reviewed.
- Generate the action-item tracker with owners and deadlines.
What AI cannot do
- Replace the committee's actual deliberation.
- Know which fund-monitoring criteria your IPS specifies.
- Make the prudence judgment — that's a fiduciary act.
