Executive Summary

The Actuarial Innovation and Technology (AIT) Program Steering Committee of the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute conducted this survey to evaluate the current state of generative AI adoption, utilization, and interest among Society of Actuaries members, while identifying challenges, opportunities, and future directions to guide informed decision-making and strategic initiatives in the actuarial profession.

The mission of the survey is to comprehensively evaluate the current state of generative AI adoption, utilization, and interest among Society of Actuaries members on an ongoing basis over many years, while identifying challenges, opportunities, and future directions to guide informed decision-making and strategic initiatives in the actuarial profession.

This survey is designed to be repeated once or twice each year to track how AI use, perceptions, and professional readiness evolve over time. Each iteration will provide updated benchmarks and highlight emerging trends across the actuarial community.

The findings of this initial survey provide a snapshot of how the actuarial profession is adapting to the rapid evolution of AI by highlighting differences in attitudes, applications, and readiness across experience levels. Respondents were grouped into three categories based on years of experience: 10 years or less, over 10 years, and unknown experience. You will find the summarized findings in section 2 with the details of the responses for each question in section 3.
