In short
At least two current SOA Research Institute requests for proposals state that AI should not write the proposal. The proposal should be in the researcher's own words. Any use of AI in generating it should be fully disclosed. At least one SOA call for analysis also states that submissions must not materially rely on AI-generated content. Exceptions are AI use that is disclosed and AI use limited to editorial help.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
For applicants
- In RFPs that include this clause, the proposal should be in the applicant's own words and not written by AI. Any use of AI for any purpose in generating the proposal should be fully disclosed. Applicants should check each RFP, because 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, states that submissions must not materially rely on AI-generated content. The exceptions are disclosed use and non-substantive, mechanical, or editorial work such as spelling, grammar, or formatting corrections. [3]
For reviewers
Society of Actuaries has published no rules for reviewers.
