The penetration of large models into highly regulated industries is moving from the "laboratory" to the "production line." On February 25, 2026, according to a report by 36Kr, citing news from Sina Finance, global consulting giant PwC US announced a strategic partnership with AI leader Anthropic.

The two parties will work together to accelerate the deployment of enterprise-level AI plugins in highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and life sciences.

Core Collaboration: Deep Integration into the Claude Ecosystem

This agreement marks that PwC is deepening its consulting capabilities with Anthropic's underlying technologies. Through this collaboration, PwC will help its clients fully integrate the Claude product series, including:

Developer Platform: Supports enterprise-level customized development.

Claude.ai and Claude Cowork: Enhances internal office collaboration efficiency within enterprises.

Claude Code: Provides AI-native code support for digital transformation in the financial and healthcare sectors.

Industry Breakthrough: Tackling the "High Regulation" Fortress

The finance and healthcare industries have long been "tough nuts" for AI implementation due to the handling of large amounts of private data and strict compliance audits. PwC chose to collaborate with Anthropic, known for its "security, honesty, and harmlessness," aiming to leverage Claude's advantages in explainability and security to provide a compliant AI transformation solution for regulated enterprises.
