NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL announced a new collaboration with Accenture and Amazon Web Services to extend its Universal Wallet Infrastructure (UWI) into AI-driven software development and operational workflows. The initiative focuses on establishing a trust and governance framework for autonomous AI agents by embedding verification, credential management, and auditability directly into enterprise workflows. The companies said the effort is designed to help enterprises adopt agentic AI at scale with stronger controls over identity, authority, and provenance.
At the center of the collaboration is UWI, a secure enterprise interaction layer developed by NTT DOCOMO and Accenture. UWI enables organizations to issue, verify, and manage digital identity, money, and objects across applications and organizational boundaries. NTT DOCOMO said the platform is already deployed in enterprise environments and will now be extended to AI-driven systems where autonomous agents increasingly write code, interact across services, and execute tasks continuously. The goal is to ensure enterprises can verify which AI agent took an action, determine whether it was authorized, and maintain an auditable record of decisions and data usage.
As an initial technical milestone, the companies released a joint whitepaper titled Agentic Trust Layer: Building the Foundation of Trust for the Age of AI Agents. The paper outlines how technologies including Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), AI-specific SBOMs, verifiable credentials, and agent identity can be integrated into software development pipelines and AI execution environments. The document references architectural patterns involving Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, positioning trust and governance as core design elements rather than controls added after deployment. The three companies also plan coordinated go-to-market efforts including solution showcases, workshops, and enterprise education programs to support broader adoption.
- Collaboration brings together NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL’s UWI trust infrastructure, Accenture’s decentralized identity and product engineering expertise, and AWS cloud and AI services.
- Focus is on software development workflows first, with broader operational use cases expected over time.
- UWI provides identity verification, credential issuance, validation, policy-based access control, and auditability across human users, systems, and AI agents.
- Whitepaper explores trust-layer integration using verifiable credentials, agent identity, provenance tracking, and SBOM-based software governance.
- AWS technologies referenced include Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for AI agent runtime, observability, and secure access governance.
- Initiative targets enterprise adoption of agentic AI where regulatory compliance, trust, and governance are essential requirements.
“We believe the next chapter of AI will depend on whether people, enterprises, and society can trust how intelligent systems behave and interact,” said Hiroki Kuriyama, President and CEO of NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL. “Universal Wallet Infrastructure represents NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL’s approach to building this trust foundation for the AI era.”
