When the Human in the Loop is the Problem

The safeguard nobody audits!

   


QUESTION 

We have been transitioning to AI use in several departments. As a board member with governance responsibilities, I am interested in the human-in-the-loop responsibility, which you discussed in Will AI Reduce Fair Lending Violations? We discussed your April 1st article, AI Replace Me. It was a sequel to your article, Will AI Replace Me? 

In your article, you discussed the future role of humans with regard to AI. You said that we should have a "human-governed" approach to AI. The matrix you provided on the roles and the corresponding human oversight requirement for AI was eye-opening. Accordingly, we are developing a human-in-the-loop policy. 

In our last board meeting, someone made an interesting point. The presumption is that the human in the loop acts lawfully and applies the proper regulatory guidelines. But what if the human disregards or deliberately violates the rules and guidelines? What then? We'd like your view on what our policy should be. 

What if the human in the loop deliberately violates the laws, rules and regulations? 

RESPONSE 

This is a challenging feature of the human-in-the-loop requirement. We have a human-in-the-loop (HITL) policy, which includes conditions, procedures, and suggestions. If you want a copy, please click here.

I will provide some basics. I also provide two matrices outlining key factors. 

A human in the loop protects people from AI only if that human acts in good faith. Almost every AI governance framework treats the reviewer as the fix: the person who catches the model's errors, bias, and hallucinations before they reach a real decision. Very few ask what happens when the reviewer is the source of the harm. 

I will look at how a reviewer can misuse AI output, where the law currently places responsibility, and how to design oversight that still works when one person in the chain does not. 

That gap matters more each year. Federal and state regulators across the US are writing human review into law as the core protection for people affected by automated decisions. But if the review step can be captured, coerced, or corrupted, the law's main safeguard becomes a liability shield instead: an AI output with a human signature looks more legitimate, not less. 

Five Ways toward HITL obstruction 

Most oversight design assumes the HITL reviewer's failure mode is fatigue or over-trust, not intent. A reviewer acting unlawfully exploits exactly that assumption. The patterns below are distinct, and each defeats a different control. 

Pattern	What it looks like	Why standard oversight misses it
Laundering	A decision already made for an unlawful reason (bias, retaliation, a bribe) is run through the AI until it produces a supporting output, which becomes the official rationale.	The record shows a model recommendation and a human sign-off, which is what auditors look for.
Selective override	The reviewer accepts the model when it agrees with their preference and overrides it when it doesn't, targeting particular people or groups.	Overrides are expected - each one looks like legitimate judgment in isolation.
Cherry-picking	The reviewer regenerates or reruns outputs, or swaps prompts and inputs, until a favorable answer appears, and records only that one.	Logs often capture the final output, not the attempts before it.
Tampering	The reviewer edits the AI output or the input data, then presents the result as the system's own finding.	Downstream readers assume the text or score came from the model unaltered.
Rubber-stamping by design	A manager directs reviewers to approve outputs without real scrutiny, or sets quotas that make scrutiny impossible, so the organization can claim human review occurred.	The human step exists on paper, so the system appears compliant.

The common thread is that the AI's apparent objectivity becomes cover for obstruction. A biased manager acting alone leaves a trail of personal judgment. The same manager acting through an AI system can point to the model, while pointing regulators to the human review.

Talking Rates: Sales Meeting – Part II

Technical Scenarios

How Loan Officers Can Explain

the 2026 Mortgage Rate Surge

    

This article is Part II of a two-part series on the surge in mortgage rates. In Part I, we discussed simple questions. For Part II, we've selected several technical scenarios we think will interest our newsletter subscribers. We edited the transcript for clarity and length. Questions are emboldened.

Recently, Lenders Compliance Group was asked to host a meeting for a mortgage lender's sales team. 450 loan officers from across the country attended. Jonathan Foxx, our Chairman and Managing Director, hosted the meeting. We recorded it and obtained the transcript. We did not charge a fee. The format was a question-and-answer session in which loan officers asked us how to explain the surge in interest rates to their borrowers.  

Jonathan covered many scenarios, from simple to complex, reflecting borrowers' familiarity with financial conditions. We placed considerable emphasis on ensuring that the LOs' responses would comply with regulatory guidelines regarding contact with the public. The meeting lasted an hour, after which many LOs sent us additional questions.  

We have scheduled another compliance-related meeting with this lender on a different topic. We would like to schedule one with you! If you want us to host a free meeting, we would be glad to discuss the topic.  

Please email us here and tell us about your meeting topic! 

For this Part II article, we selected several technical questions we think will interest our newsletter subscribers. We edited the transcript for clarity and length. Questions are emboldened.   

This two-part article is separated into simple and technical scenarios, as follows: 

• Part I: Simple Questions
• Part II: Technical Questions     

TECHNICAL EXPLANATIONS 

Many borrowers follow the markets closely, so drop the analogies and explain how mortgages are actually priced. Depending on the borrower's level of understanding, four ideas may carry the conversation. These are the benchmark, the spread, the Fed's role, and the decisions in the borrower's control. 

Together, they usually cover the general range of concerns. But if you are unfamiliar with the technical side, do yourself a favor and read up on it; and if you don't know an answer, tell the borrower you will check – and get back to them promptly. 

The Benchmark 

Question: I work with high-net-worth borrowers. These people follow the market constantly. Yet they come to me for more feedback, especially when they're deciding on financing. I need a way to start the discussion that helps break the ice. What would you suggest? 

Answer: I would start with something easy to test the waters. I would say: 

"A mortgage rate is driven mostly by the 10-year Treasury yield, not the Fed funds rate. A 30-year mortgage has a 30-year term, but most are refinanced or paid off through a sale within about 7 to 10 years. Investors therefore price them against intermediate-term Treasuries. With the 10-year near 5.29% in early October, mortgage rates followed it up." 

It may seem counterintuitive to tell them what they probably already know, but start by showing you are going to tell it like it is, no matter what. Sophisticated borrowers – like all borrowers – want to work with LOs who keep it real! 

The Spread 

Q: I have a borrower who watched a YouTube video on the mortgage process and now thinks he's an expert! I respect his diligence. He even knew about negative convexity, which I never knew. So maybe he is an expert! But he can't figure out how the spread works. I tried explaining it. It didn't make sense to him. How can I walk him through how the spread works?

A: The spread is the part most borrowers have never heard of. With the 30-year mortgage at 7.28% and the 10-year at about 5.29%, the gap is roughly 2 points. Historically, it has averaged closer to 1.7 points.

Please email us HERE and tell us about your meeting topic!

For this article, we selected several questions that should interest our newsletter subscribers. We edited the transcript for clarity and length. Questions are emboldened. The questions are grouped from simple (Part I) to technical (Part II). 

This two-part article is separated into simple and technical scenarios, as follows: 

• Part I: Simple Questions
• Part II: Technical Questions   

INITIAL OPENING COMMENT  

Mortgage rates have jumped sharply this fall, and borrowers are noticing. According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed rate reached 7.28% as of October 1, 2026. That is the highest level since November 2023, up from 7.03% a week earlier and 6.34% a year ago. 

For loan officers, this creates a communication challenge. A first-time buyer often needs a short, reassuring explanation. A borrower who follows the markets wants to understand how the pricing actually works. In this meeting, I will discuss how to respond to both types of borrowers with a possible script for each. 

SIMPLE QUESTIONS

The Bond Market  

Question: How do I explain the bond market's impact on mortgage rates?  

Answer: I think there are essentially two ways to answer. The first is what I would call a "one-sentence version." You could say:  

"Mortgage rates follow the bond market, and right now investors are demanding higher returns to lend money long-term, so borrowing for a house costs more than it did a few months ago."

But you may need a slightly longer version. In which case you could say:  

"Most people assume the Federal Reserve sets mortgage rates. (A quick, friendly correction builds credibility.) The Fed doesn't set mortgage rates directly, but they closely track the 10-year Treasury yield. Right now, both are moving up. The Fed raised the federal funds rate at its September 17^th meeting, and the 10-year Treasury yield rose to about 5.29% on October 1^st."  

This may be a bit too complex to understand, so provide an analogy, such as:  

"Think of your mortgage as a loan that gets packaged and sold to investors. Those investors could buy safe government bonds instead. When government bonds pay more, investors expect mortgages to pay more too, or they'll take the safer option. Right now those bonds pay over 5%, so mortgage rates have moved up with them."

RESPONSE 

AI BUBBLE: Promises, Panics, and Economics 

I want to commence this discussion with probably the most famous quote describing the Dutch tulip bubble (also known as the Tulip Mania). The quote comes from Scottish journalist Charles Mackay in his 1841 book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds: 

"A golden bait hung temptingly out before the people, and one after the other,

they rushed to the tulip-marts, like flies around a honey-pot." 

Parts of this article are technical. If that's not for you, skip ahead to the What to Watch and Conclusion sections at the end. 

Are data centers a symptom of an AI bubble? 

Short answer: data centers show the classic financing signs of a bubble – spending racing ahead of revenue, a shift from cash to debt, off-balance-sheet structures, and circular deals – but not yet the classic demand sign of one, because the capacity being built is still being used. In layperson's terms, the industry is building the plane while flying it. 

Or, a better metaphor: this is a case where the grasp exceeds the reach! 

The poet Robert Browning wrote, "a man's reach should exceed his grasp" – we should aim beyond what we can already hold. Here, it is the reverse. The industry has already grabbed – committed, signed, and borrowed for – more than its revenue can reach today. 

So, whether this becomes a bubble depends on one question: does AI revenue close the gap before the debt comes due? 

The spending has outrun the spenders' own cash 

The five hyperscalers – Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Oracle – are the giant cloud companies building most of this capacity. Their capital expenditure (capex), meaning spending on buildings, chips, and equipment, rose from about $256 billion in 2024 to $443 billion in 2025, and is projected at $602 billion in 2026. Later estimates run higher: the Swiss private bank Union Bancaire Privée (UBP) puts 2026 near $820 billion and 2027 at $1.0–1.3 trillion.

RESPONSE 

The physics: why you can't just build faster 

I concentrated in math and science in college, specializing in symbolic mathematical logic, and I have peer-reviewed papers in that field for scholarly journals. Computer science is not my specialty, but I studied it, and for over fifty years I have taken part in science and physics forums, including on artificial intelligence (AI). Today, I contribute regularly to two math groups whose members include leading AI experts and academics. 

Here, I want to give a layman's view of the physics of AI Data Centers, because the physical limits shape everything else. Parts of this article are technical. If that's not for you, stay tuned to Part III, coming soon, where I discuss whether there is an AI Bubble. 

In my view, the binding limit on AI Data Centers is no longer silicon. It is the physics of moving energy in and heat out, plus the slow-to-build infrastructure that does both. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that global data center electricity use will more than double, from 415 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2024 to 945 TWh by 2030. One TWh is a trillion watts running for one hour, or roughly what 100,000 American homes use in a year. 

Every watt becomes heat 

Let's begin with the law of conservation of energy: energy is never destroyed, only converted. It is unforgiving! Nearly all the electricity fed to a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) leaves the building as heat. 

A GPU is a chip that performs thousands of calculations at the same time. It was built to draw graphics, images, and video, but that same ability to process huge amounts of data at once now powers AI, machine learning, and scientific research. 

The largest AI Data Centers are gigawatt-scale facilities, called a GW Campus in AI Speak. Each uses one or more gigawatts (1,000+ megawatts) of electricity to train and run frontier models, the most capable AI models available at any given time. 

Now, please follow me, as I bullet the physics:

AI Data Centers: Public Backlash

QUESTION 

We are a mortgage lender in Northern Virginia. An AI Data Center was built in our area, and it is causing havoc with our business. We have branches in Texas, Ohio, and Georgia. Data centers are being built or are under construction in those areas. These are our key states for originating mortgages. Property values have gone down because of these data centers, and that has caused our loan originations to plummet, both in refinances and purchase money. 

As far as I can tell, you are the only one telling it like it is in the AI compliance world. My question is indirectly about compliance because we are concerned about our investor partners. Some of them are now pushing back on appraisals and LTV ratios. Quality control is being impacted. I handle sales. Our loan officers are suffering an unprecedented downturn. Lenders that are not affected by AI Data Centers near their markets will eventually feel the same downturn that we are – there's no escaping it! 

In our sales meeting, we put together three questions for you. 

Which public issues are impacting AI Data Centers? 

A few of us believe their expansion is limited by physics. 

Is that so? 

And how long will this last? Is an AI bubble forming?

RESPONSE 

I will answer your questions in three parts, as follows:

·      Part I: Public Backlash

·      Part II: Physical Limits

·      Part III: AI Bubble

In my previous series, The Day of AI Reckoning, I discussed how the public is rejecting the infrastructure and the overall data center opposition. I discussed several compliance risks, some of the compliance ramifications, and why there might be an AI implosion, not a correction.

I get the AI sales pitch: America is building the largest energy-consuming industry of the decade in about five years, and three problems are colliding at once. You have asked three fundamental questions, which I will endeavor to answer. Neighbors are revolting over bills, water, noise, and air. Physics and the grid cap how fast power can arrive and heat can leave. And the bill – well over half a trillion dollars a year – is increasingly being paid with borrowed money. 

The three are linked: the physical constraints drive the local backlash, and both shape whether the financing ends in a productive build-out or a bust. 

Public issues: who pays, who breathes, who drinks! 

The core public complaint is that AI data centers concentrate their costs locally on power bills, air, water, and quiet, while their benefits flow elsewhere. By 2026, that complaint has become one of the few genuinely bipartisan political forces in the United States. Let's break it down categorically, with the caveat that my view reflects current and potential future conditions. 

Electricity bills 

Data centers are not the only reason power is getting more expensive, but they are now a leading one. I used PJM's independent market monitor, which concluded that expected data center demand drove about $23 billion in customer price increases that will persist through at least 2028. Fortune published an article showing how data centers have hiked electricity prices.

The Day of AI Reckoning: Part III

QUESTION 

This article is the third installment of The Day of AI Reckoning.

·       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.

AI Versus Humans: A Dialogue

Overcoming the Fear of AI 

Capital Markets Are Starting to Ask the Same Question

Your skepticism showing up in mortgage compliance departments has a mirror in the capital markets. Through mid-to-late 2026, AI-adjacent equities have undergone a sustained, and at times sharp, repricing. Chipmakers lost over a trillion dollars in combined market value in a single stretch this summer amid concerns that AI infrastructure spending may be peaking faster than expected. 

Software stocks have fared worse than chips in some cases. For example, as I write, Oracle is down more than 50% from its late-2025 high, Microsoft is down nearly 10%, and Meta is down more than 20%. Two contradictory investor theories are driving them: on the one hand, AI will make incumbent software obsolete; on the other, software companies have overspent on AI without adequate returns. One thing I learned at Wharton is that contradictory investor theories are a huge warning sign. And in this case, both narratives can't be true. The market's inability to settle on one signals unresolved uncertainty about what AI is actually worth in production, not just in a demo. 

Meanwhile, the AI champs are rising. Whether you look at private-market valuations or explosive financial metrics, AI purveyors have grown staggeringly since late 2025. For instance, Anthropic (Claude) is up about 175%, OpenAI (ChatGPT) is up over 70%, Alphabet (Gemini) is up about 26%, and Google (DeepMind) is up 61%. Most of these have a knack for generating debt without generating a penny of profit.

The Day of AI Reckoning: Part I

QUESTION 

I am a long-time subscriber, and I'm grateful you have been writing about AI's impact on mortgage banking. My compliance officer bought your AI Policy Program. Our Director of Sales is considering getting your manual for AI in mortgage banking sales. So, I hope you will allow this long message from someone who has been in this business for forty years. 

We use AI in various areas, including operations, compliance, marketing, underwriting, and disclosures. I'm a CEO and loan officer. My company is in 15 states. I use AI in my loan origination and also in my private life. In my opinion, AI seems like a glorified search engine. But I still have to double-check it because it's throwing errors, and there's no quality control to ensure reliability. 

A friend of mine had to hire another compliance manager just to make sure that all AI output is strictly within federal and state guidelines. Instead of AI replacing compliance, he is adding to compliance to keep a watch on AI. And he tells me AI isn't saving him a dime. It is actually costing him more. It's tough enough to book loans in this economic climate; we don't need a new, unregulated technology to confuse us or our borrowers. 

And I don't get all the buzz about AI replacing me. It won't replace me. I don't have any borrowers who want to talk to an AI bot. We had an AI agent for a while, and borrowers hung up or logged off. They only want humans, such as me. I go to AI the same way I go to any search engine. It seems more like a consolidator of information, mostly plagiarized, and puts it into a readable, friendly format. This thing just doesn't seem like a revolution that is going to put us all out of work. 

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 all over the place 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.
