  "account": "Berlin – After being dismissed as Ukraine's defense minister in July, Mykhailo Fedorow is focusing on his new venture as a startup founder. With assistance from Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of US tech company Palantir, Fedorow has established a venture capital fund to develop a \"robot army\". Karp serves as a lead investor in this endeavor. Just six months after its inception, the first humanoid robot is set to be operational, according to Fedorow, who announced this at a tech conference in Lviv, Western Ukraine, in late September. He also shared a futuristic AI-generated video on social media depicting killer robots in action. The term \"humanoid\" refers to robots with two legs and a human-like appearance. In interviews, Fedorow emphasizes the urgency of the situation, warning that Ukraine's adversary, Russia, along with its allies, may outpace the development of AI robots. These robots would be fully autonomous, with no communication links. Fedorow's concern is not only about the technology but also about who will employ it first and who will regulate it, stating that for Ukraine, \"being first, securing the advantage, and dictating the rules of the game\" is of utmost priority.",
