PwC: AI Built for Industry Context | SAP Connect 2026

See how PwC and SAP are exploring Industry AI to help professional services teams make better connected decisions, reduce manual work, and deliver stronger client outcomes. At SAP Connect 2026, Jill from PwC explains why industry-specific context is essential for enterprise AI. Every industry has its own language, risk profile, workflows, and definition of what “done right” looks like. For AI to be trusted in complex business environments, it needs to understand not only the task, but the context, consequences, and next steps within that specific process. The conversation explores why generic AI can execute tasks, but Industry AI can understand why those tasks exist and what they connect to. In professional services, where clients trust firms with sensitive decisions, AI must operate on connected systems, accurate context, and built-in governance. PwC also discusses how SAP’s Billing Assistant can help professional services teams catch billing issues earlier in the process, before they affect client relationships. The discussion closes with how PwC and SAP are exploring Industry AI to support autonomous project delivery, helping teams spend less time on engagement administration and more time delivering expertise, judgment, and better client outcomes.
