I wouldnt count AI as intelligent. I have a definition grounded in empirical observations of actually intelligent systems -- start there, and generalise very carefully.
The reason intelligence has evolved in animals is because we do not have the answers. All of modern AI is focused on how to extract behaviour from answers -- rather than how to cope when they arent present.
Intelligence is the solution to the problem that evolution cannot adapt life fast enough. Evolution is the kind of 'intelligence' AI has: delete the failures; know the answers.
The intelligence of interest, in animals, is live adaption to one's environment. It's ecological rationality brought about by sensory-motor adaption.
This is why we find the NN-type solutions to problems deeply unsatisfying. We arent missing something: there is no "there" there. It's just a compression of the answer space.
This is really disappointing: the intelligent solution is the interesting one! Modern AI finds ways of solving problems without intelligence.
