Fannie Mae’s chief, Priscilla Almodovar, stated the company wants to “identify fraud more proactively” with Palantir’s assistance, beginning with its multi-family housing division.

According to an early test, Palantir’s technology, which incorporates artificial intelligence components, could spot fraud in seconds that took two months for human investigators to discover, she said. Following President Donald Trump’s election victory in November, Palantir’s stock has increased by over 140 percent.

Technology stocks play a part in modernizing the United States. It appears to be a good fit for the administration’s declared priorities because it supports the military and aids in government cost reduction.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been under the Federal Housing Financing Agency’s conservatorship since 2008.

The Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation are the two organizations’ official names. In addition to discussing a possible collaboration with Elon Musk’s xAI company, FHFA director William Pulte stated on Wednesday that the Palantir program may eventually be extended to Freddie Mac.

“There are no limits. We’re not just dealing with fraud. Pulte stated, “We want to remove costs from the system if possible.” Fannie Mae’s payment to Palantir for this service was not specified in the press release.
