As artificial intelligence tools become increasingly integrated into actuarial work, actuaries are faced with new questions that go beyond technical competence. What does professionalism look like when AI is involved? How do existing standards—particularly ASOPs and the Code of Professional Conduct—apply to work that incorporates machine learning models or generative AI? What do we need to think about outside the current written standards? This session steps back from the technical details and takes a critical look at the evolving role of actuaries and consultants in an AI-enabled environment.
