Mortgage AI Governance
Coverage from National Mortgage Professional, Techtimes, and others
Mortgage AI governance concerns how lenders and servicers oversee AI and machine learning used in mortgage origination and servicing.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements call for documented policies, accountability, risk controls, monitoring, and oversight of technology vendors, while MISMO’s FRAME framework offers a mortgage-specific approach to identifying, assessing, and managing AI use. Training and certification initiatives extend that work to implementation and evaluation of controls. Together, these requirements and tools connect responsible AI practices to the operational and vendor relationships of the mortgage sector.
