Society of Actuaries AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
At least two current SOA Research Institute requests for proposals say the proposal should not be written by AI but in the researcher's own words, and any use of AI in generating the proposal should be fully disclosed. At least one SOA call for analysis also says submissions must not materially rely on AI-generated content unless disclosed or limited to editorial help.
For applicants
- In RFPs that carry this clause, your proposal should be in your own words, not written by AI. Any use of AI for any purpose in generating the proposal should be fully disclosed. Check the specific RFP, since not every SOA call includes this language.[1][2]
- At least one SOA call for analysis (U.S. County-Level Mortality and Socioeconomic-Demographic Characteristics) says submissions must not materially rely on AI-generated content, except as disclosed or for mechanical or editorial work such as spelling, grammar, or formatting.[3]
