NTT Docomo, Accenture and AWS deepen work on AI governance infrastructure
NTT Docomo Global widened its collaboration with Accenture and AWS around enterprise agentic AI infrastructure centered on governance and trust. The work focuses on further development of Universal Wallet Infrastructure, which manages identity, credentials, money and documents across apps, wallets and services. NEXT: NTT will supply the trust layer, Accenture will handle strategy and engineering support, and AWS will provide cloud and AI services.
Partnership focus
NTT Docomo Global is broadening its collaboration with Accenture and AWS on infrastructure for enterprise agentic AI, with the work aimed at governance and building trust in how these systems operate.
The effort is set around further development of Universal Wallet Infrastructure, or UWI, a platform created with Accenture.
UWI is designed to manage digital identity, credentials, money and documents across a range of apps, wallets and services.
In the latest arrangement, NTT will provide the trust infrastructure layer for UWI.
Accenture’s role covers technology strategy, digital assets and product engineering.
AWS will add cloud and AI services.
The announcement frames the project as a response to governance needs that are becoming more urgent as AI agents take on more autonomous tasks in software environments.
NTT said the gap is growing as these agents increasingly write and change code across development settings.
Why governance is central
According to NTT, older security methods and software supply chain approaches were not designed to track autonomous systems that run continuously at scale.
That concern is a core reason the three companies are putting emphasis on trust infrastructure rather than only on model capability.
By centering the collaboration on UWI, the companies are linking AI governance to an existing platform for handling identity, credentials, money and documents.
The structure of the partnership also assigns clear roles: NTT on the trust layer, Accenture on strategy and engineering work, and AWS on cloud and AI services.
The companies also plan joint go-to-market work.
That will include customer workshops, product showcases and educational sessions tied to the offering.
Executive views
Hiroki Kuriyama, CEO of NTT Docomo Global, said the future direction of AI will depend on whether people, companies and society can rely on the way intelligent systems act and interact.
The statement underscores the company’s focus on trust as agentic AI moves into broader enterprise use.
Jaime Valles, managing director for AWS in Asia Pacific, Japan and China, said customers want to adopt agentic AI quickly, but also want trust and governance to be part of deployments from the start.
That message aligns with the partnership’s emphasis on built-in controls rather than adding oversight later.
Commercial activity
Beyond technology development, the three companies said they will work together on market activity through workshops, showcases and education.
Those efforts are intended to introduce the platform and support customer understanding of governance requirements around agentic AI.
Overall, the announcement sets out a three-way structure for building and promoting governance-focused infrastructure for enterprise AI agents.
The collaboration combines NTT Docomo Global’s UWI trust layer, Accenture’s strategy and engineering support, and AWS cloud and AI services, while targeting governance issues linked to autonomous code-writing and code-modifying systems.
