Anthropic joined the UK Financial Conduct Authority's AI regulatory sandbox as part of the programme's second group of participants.

The sandbox helps companies test artificial intelligence tools in financial services under the regulator's supervision before wider use.

"The second cohort reflects growing interest in responsible AI innovation across financial markets," the Financial Conduct Authority said.

The latest group includes technology firms, financial companies and service providers developing AI products for the UK financial sector.

The FCA said the sandbox will help firms improve AI systems while supporting safe and responsible innovation across financial markets.

Anthropic develops AI models and tools that focus on safety, reliability and responsible deployment for businesses and consumers.

The FCA launched the AI regulatory sandbox to help companies test new technology while giving regulators a better understanding of emerging AI risks.
