Life means a state of persistence, a kind of quasi-self-sustaining system that postpones entropy by taking in nutrients, by using energy, and by reproducing.

Intelligence is not a definition of life. Lots of living things do not have intelligence. Life does not mean intelligence.

Likewise, intelligence does not necessarily mean life exists. You could conceivably create a computer program that learns and adapts from its environment. You could conceivably make that program recursively aware of its own existence as part of the environment from which it learns. That program would be true artificial intelligence, but it would not be life.

Bwa ha ha haaaa!!
