AI agents could handle several recurring digital workflows in this job, while people remain responsible for judgment and final decisions.

Where agents can help most

  1. 1

    Update probability tables and check results

    Use an agent to ingest historical event data, build updated probability tables, and run back-tests and outlier checks on the results.

  2. 2

    Review rates and reserve estimates

    Use an agent to review loss, mortality, and claim experience files, refresh pricing and reserve assumptions, and prepare a rate-and-reserve memo with sensitivity checks.

Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Update probability tables and check results

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to ingest historical event data, build updated probability tables, and run back-tests and outlier checks on the results. The agent can then package the tables with notes on assumptions and any segments that look unstable so you have a ready review draft.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the data and assumptions are sound, confirm the tables make actuarial sense, and choose whether the update is ready to use.

Review level: Medium

2

Review rates and reserve estimates

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to review loss, mortality, and claim experience files, refresh pricing and reserve assumptions, and prepare a rate-and-reserve memo with sensitivity checks. The agent can line up the calculations and highlight anything that looks inconsistent so you can focus on the insurance judgment.

Where you stay involved

You review the assumptions, decide whether any proposed change is acceptable, and approve the final rate or reserve recommendation.

Review level: High

3

Draft actuarial advice for client needs

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to organize a client’s data, test the reasonableness of mortality or claim assumptions, and draft a consulting note that ties the calculations back to the source files. It can also flag missing data or unclear points so you can shape the final advice without starting from scratch.

Where you stay involved

You decide what advice is appropriate, handle any legal or contract questions, and deliver the final professional judgment.

Review level: High

Documentation and coordination support

AI can assist without owning the physical outcome

These support steps are shown separately. They do not count as agentic workflows and do not increase this occupation's score.

Assemble testimony evidence packet

Use an agent to gather actuarial exhibits, check calculations for lifetime earnings or benefit liability estimates, and assemble a clean support file for a case or hearing. The agent can cross-check citations and consistency across documents so the designated professional has an organized record to work from.

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
