It seems to me that for something to really be "intelligent" it must be able to evaluate its own thinking processes. In short, it can't merely be following an algorithm, but must be able to reason about that algorithm itself. It must be able to explain how it came to a given conclusion, evaluate the importance or worth of that conclusion. It must have its own private mental states -- it must have a consciousness.

In AIMA, they distinguish between four senses of the goals of AI.

Relationship of the mind to the brain. Mind body problem. Does thinking always follow logical rules. Where does inspiration fit in. Indirect reasoning. Paradigm shifts. Emotion.
