<p>Hans Moravec has made some concrete predictions as to the future of intelligence, by estimating the computational cost (measured in <a href="Instructions_per_second" title="Instructions per second">instructions per second</a>) of various operations of human intelligence, and comparing it with the future of computer computational power as predicted by <a href="Moore's_law" title="Moore's law">Moore's law</a>.

The neural substitution argument is that if each neuron in a conscious brain can be replaced successively by an electronic substitute with the same behavior as the neuron it replaces, then a biological consciousness would be transferred seamlessly into an electronic computer, thus proving that consciousness does not depend on biology and can be treated as an abstract computable process.

<p>In <i>Robot: Mere Machine to Transcendent Mind</i>, published in 1999, Moravec further considers the implications of evolving robot intelligence, generalizing <a href="Moore's_law" title="Moore's law">Moore's law</a> to technologies predating the <a href="Integrated_circuit" title="Integrated circuit">integrated circuit</a>, and extrapolating it to predict a coming "mind fire" of rapidly expanding <a href="Superintelligence" title="Superintelligence">superintelligence</a>.
