Like what I said when speaking of Alien Life [0] it all comes down to chemistry and biology and the evolution when talking about naturally occurring intelligence.
When speaking about AI as far as I understand it should be human like in order to be called artificial intelligence. If it mimics human intelligence and solves trivial problems then it is nothing than calculator with primitive intelligence that I mentioned before.
The thing you are talking is evolution, you acquire model of the world during millions of years of the evolution step by step but today computer scientists are trying to hardcode
human like intelligence into computers which is extremely hard taking in consideration how long it took for humans to become highly intelligent. I think better approach would be to write evolutionary algorithms which perhaps can yield human like intelligence.
There is some secret ingredient in human evolution which made us the most intelligent specie on Earth no specie is even remotely close to be as intelligent as we are. I think nobody really knows what that secret ingredient is.
I certainly do not know what the secret ingredient is, but it is quite plausible that a number of extinct species (Neanderthals, Homo erectus, maybe Homo habilis) also had it to some degree.
We made it because we were and are more cooperative and more social in others words we gather together in order to survive and work together but other species such as bees or ants are also very much cooperative and social but they are not highly intelligent although they have collective intelligence.
I think anatomy of humans played the crucial role in our evolution. Hands are powerful tools which enabled us to create and develop other tools and technologies.
