I've been studying that very problem for a few years and I currently hold the view about "general intelligence" that it is untranslatable into software, or at least, not an algorithm. I use the term algorithm because it's a pretty fixed definition, and "software" is relatively woolly. This isn't a spooky, defeatist or handwavy argument. To be "generally" intelligent you need to be intimately physically linked to your environment in a way that the "input -> processing -> output" character of an algorithm, even when realised on a microchip, is not.
