Moving My Writing to Substack

Moving from Medium to Substack

I’ve decided to move most of my writing from Medium to Substack, where I’ll be sharing ideas and insights across two blogs:
– #AI and #AutonomousNavigation for Drones and Robots
https://aiautonomousnavigation.substack.com
Here, I’ll cover my new work in autonomous navigation, along with broader thoughts on autonomy, robotics, and drones.
– #AI for #Negotiations
https://ainegotiations.substack.com

This blog will focus on practical ways to use AI to improve and streamline negotiation-related processes—from procurement and acquisitions to geopolitics.

I’ll still publish some general pieces on https://vactivity.medium.com, but they won’t focus on these topics.

Feel free to subscribe, and thank you for staying with me over the past 5 years.

I truly appreciate your feedback and the conversations around my essays!

Best Regards,

Vitaliy Goncharuk

Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, over 40 startups have approached me seeking investment, with the aim of solving military problems.

Despite my interest in supporting my homeland, I have only invested in one of these startups.

My article @ European AI Alliance: The War in Ukraine and AI Regulation: Some Controversial Takeaways

Originally the  article  was published @   European AI Alliance. 

Since the beginning of the war, I have often been asked what The Expert Committee on Artificial Intelligence is doing now.

Are we still doing policy-making?

Certainly not.

Since the committee is a social institution, the same thing happened to it as to the rest of the other healthy structures during the war – it was urgently reorganized and focused on solving the main problem of the country.

Therefore, some members of the committee are now in the front-line trenches. Continue reading “My article @ European AI Alliance: The War in Ukraine and AI Regulation: Some Controversial Takeaways”

The Metaverse, real-world and its correlation

Ahead of the mass production of HMDs I’m pleased to see the consolidation of old terms (AR, VR, AR Cloud, XR, virtual games etc.) into one — Metaverse. It was difficult to explain to third parties the differences and similarities between all these industries earlier but semantic integration into one universal sphere should now increase the capitalization of all players.

I would like to draw your attention to one aspect, ignoring which could lead the Metaverse industry to big problems in the near future. Continue reading “The Metaverse, real-world and its correlation”
