From the Source: AI Governance Is Here. Now the Real Work Begins
As Fannie Mae’s AI governance deadline arrives, the mortgage industry is reaching an important inflection point: AI adoption is accelerating, but the frameworks needed to govern that technology are still evolving. For servicers, the question is no longer whether AI will become part of the mortgage ecosystem — it’s how responsibly it will be implemented.
From Sagent’s vantage point, Matt Tully, Chief Compliance Officer + Customer Success Officer, sees this moment as an evolution rather than a disruption. As mentioned in his recent interview with Scotsman Guide, he believes servicers are increasingly equipped to adopt the new standards, while industry organizations like MISMO will play a critical role in building consensus around responsible AI governance and standards adoption.
AI governance is an evolution, not a revolution. As the industry moves forward, consensus around standards will be critical to responsible adoption.
“The industry welcomes Fannie Mae’s guidance on AI governance. This is an evolution, not a revolution when it comes to industry adoption of AI frameworks. Fannie and Freddie have started an important discussion around AI governance; we are working closely with our clients to ensure they understand how Sagent is deploying AI in our next-gen solutions.
We’ve not heard specific issues with servicers adopting the new standards; organizations like MISMO (Mortgage Industry Maintenance Standards Organization) will be critical to drive consensus around standards adoption”
