This has happened before.

Not to me, but with regards to, well, I should say not to political elections, but for actuarial, for the Society of Actuaries, where they had elections and some late breaking news, as it were, and people were annoyed.

So generally, I would leave off politics.

voting in the Society of Actuaries elections.

I still do until near the end because one would find out information closer to the end of the election window.

So that's your optionality.

So, for example, according to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, 58% of retirees retired sooner than planned.

And that's nearly identical to a survey conducted by the Society of Actuaries, which found that 59% of retirees retired earlier than anticipated.

Now, this isn't all bad news because many people retire sooner because they had enough money.

In fact, we're seeing that now.

You're listening to Get Plugged In, the podcast created with actuaries in mind as we focus on some of the AI trends and tools and questions and opportunities that are changing the way our global actuarial profession thinks about risks.

Everyone, it's Dale Hall, Managing Director of the Society of Actuaries Research Institute.

And today's conversation is is on AI from a regulatory and a financial examiner and audit perspective.

We'll explore how insurance regulators and insurance department financial examiners are approaching artificial intelligence, what concerns they have about its growing use and some helpful perspectives and what they mean for actuaries and the future of the insurance industry.

Yes, and a wealth of information on how artificial intelligence is affecting the actuarial profession.

Until next time, everyone, stay curious, stay informed, stay plugged in.

And for the Get Plugged In podcast, I'm Dale Hall with the Society of Actuaries Research Institute.

This was a podcast of the Society of Actuaries.

And welcome back everyone to Get Plugged In, that podcast where actuaries and artificial intelligence and big ideas meet at the intersection of innovation and insight and just enough statistical rigor at times to keep us all interested and keep things interesting.

Hello everyone, I'm Dale Hall, Managing Director of Research at the Society of Actuaries Research Institute.

And today's conversation is about the findings from our SOA Research Institute's Spring 2026 AI Survey.

It's part of an ongoing effort to just continually understand how artificial intelligence is being adopted across the actuarial profession.

We had responses from nearly a thousand, about 960 some actuaries in this second wave of the survey, and it provides insights into how AI usage has changed since 2025, some of the benefits and challenges that actuaries are experiencing, and what these trends could mean for the future of our work within the actuarial profession.

So today we're welcoming Joe Alaimo, Associate of the Society of Actuaries, Associate of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and author of the SOA Research Institute's Spring 2026 AI Survey Report.

Joe's going to help us explore some of the survey's most interesting findings.

I'm sure he'll discuss with us what they reveal about the profession's evolving relationship with AI, and even maybe consider where things may be headed next.

Let us know what you think.
