USAF Plans For Its "Skyborg" AI Computer Brain To Be Flying Drones In The Next Two Years
The service envisions the artificial intelligence system eventually flying larger, more complex unmanned designs and in the cockpit with human pilots.

The U.S. Air Force is working on an artificial intelligence "computer brain," dubbed Skyborg, that it hopes will be able to autonomously operate a prototype “loyal wingman” drone, such as the Kratos XQ-58A, by 2021 and be able to fly an actual “fighter-like aircraft” two years after that. The larger goal is to integrate this system into various unmanned planes in the future and eventually turn it into a digital co-pilot to help human aviators in manned platforms.
