Emerging trends in artificial intelligence and sustainable computing are redefining financial technologies by integrating ethical, explainable, and inclusive software practices. This paper presents a unified framework that merges Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Sign Language Intelligence (SLI), and Sustainable IT principles to develop risk-aware, next-generation mortgage loan platforms. The proposed model introduces a transparent AI-driven risk assessment engine that leverages interpretable machine learning techniques—such as SHAP and counterfactual reasoning—to enable credit evaluation processes that are auditable, bias-resistant, and compliant with regulatory standards.
In parallel, Sign Language Intelligence powered by transformer-based vision–language models and multimodal neural architectures enables real-time translation, accessibility, and inclusivity for hearing-impaired users, thereby extending equitable financial participation. The system is further optimized through sustainable IT practices, employing carbon-aware cloud orchestration, efficient model compression, and serverless deployment to reduce computational waste and improve long-term energy efficiency.
By integrating XAI transparency, inclusive communication design, and eco-conscious infrastructure, the proposed platform demonstrates a measurable reduction in explainability latency (–28%), model energy consumption (–24%), and accessibility barriers (+39% improvement in user engagement). The resulting architecture advances the paradigm of responsible FinTech software development—balancing transparency, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship to build future-ready, risk-aware mortgage ecosystems.
