QUESTION
This article is the third installment of The Day of AI Reckoning.
· Part I was published on September 9, 2026.
· Part II was published on September 16, 2026.
The three-part article is a response to a reader who asked, in part:
A day of reckoning is coming, I promise you. Where's the regulation? Who's liable if AI makes a mistake? Who will reimburse me if I get sued because of an AI error? Why is there no quality control? Why are all these FinTech companies springing up everywhere with AI promotions?
Let's get real. I have no confidence that AI technology is a new type of economic revolution. Maybe it is for the billionaires who run it, since it seems to be a revolution in how fast they can become mega-billionaires.
Will there be a day of AI reckoning in mortgage banking?

WHAT IS THE SCARIEST COMPLIANCE PROBLEM
FOR AI IN MORTGAGE BANKING?
The single
scariest compliance problem would be the invisible, scaled fair-lending discrimination that nobody
detects until it has already happened to thousands of borrowers – with no one
accountable to fix it.
From
speaking with many people in compliance about AI, the following outline is the
scariest scenarios that keep them up at night!
· Scary
Scenario # 1: It's not a one-off error. It's the same error, repeated at scale,
silently.
When a human underwriter makes a bad call, it's one file. When an AI model has a systematic bias baked in through training data, proxy variables, or model behavior nobody fully audited, it makes the same bad call on every similar file, every day, across every lender using that model or vendor.
