Hans Moravec's "Mind Children" (1988)
is usually the first reference you   
hear about when people talk about   
uploading" human intelligence 
into machine form.
 
Actually, he doesn't say all that
much about it, and it isn't clear
to me he's actually thought about
it that much.
 
I think the neatest stuff he
presents are some graphs that try to 
track the rate of increase in the                 He does not however
power of computer hardware.  He predicts          present an estimate
hardware with human scale capability              for the development
within a few decades.                             of human equivalent
                                                  software.  He just
                                                  assumes that programs
                                                  that learn will be
                                                  fairly simple to do.
