Mastercard Testimonial

As the world becomes more digitally connected, the need to protect the digital space becomes more critical. To do this, the need to increase talent pipelines in cybersecurity and digital trust becomes key. The Mastercard-NTU Joint lab thus plays a key role in contributing to talent development efforts for Singapore and the region. The joint lab will also undertake joint research into new spaces such as Trusted AI.

NTU Singapore has rolled out a new virtual assistant powered by Google Cloud to help some 6,000 incoming freshmen
transition to university life on the NTU Smart Campus.

Named Project Lyon 2.0, the virtual assistant chatbot complements the virtual Freshmen Orientation held online, which replaces the annual in-person Freshman Orientation programme due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The project demonstrates the NTU Smart Campus vision to harness digital technology and tech-enabled solutions to support better learning and living experiences, the discovery of new knowledge, and the sustainability of resources.

Aimed at providing the newly matriculated students an easy-to-use mobile experience, the virtual assistant will help to direct them to the right resources that they need and to assist the university in the smooth running of onboarding activities.

Together with cloud consulting partner OniGroup, NTU’s Centre for IT Services (CITS) worked with Google Cloud to programme and ‘train’ the new chatbot to provide a better experience which was developed with inputs from students.

Powered by Google Cloud's Mega Agent technology, the new chatbot has enhanced conversational flows, allowing it to hold a conversation similar to talking with a real person, which will help to drive a wider usage of the chatbot among the freshmen and other users in NTU.
