Most problems are not binary. They might not even have a single best solution. Many have multiple streams of changing inputs and factors. So again, how are you going to measure intelligence in such domains?

Besides, an AI might be really good in solving problems in one specific domain. This does not mean this AI is anything more than a large calculator, designed to solve that kind of problems. That calculator does not need to, and will not become "self-aware". It does not need, and will not have, a "personality". It might be able to solve that narrow class of problems faster than humans, but it will be useless when faced with most other kinds of problems. Is it more intelligent than humans?

It's not at all clear how to develop an AI which will be able to solve any "reasonable" problem, and I don't even think that's what most companies/researchers are trying to achieve. Arguably the best way to approach this problem is reverse engineering our own intelligence, but this, even if successful, will not necessarily lead to anything smarter than what is being reversed engineered.
