Universal computation is about information processing, and information processing is definitely an important thing that intelligent agents are doing.

(I wrote universal computation - to mske a distinction to common physical processes like what forks usually do - we may obviously say that a glass of water computes in a second where water molecules of that water will be in a second, but that is too direct and missing the abstraction level that my mind has (sensing and modelling my environment) or a universal turing machine has (manipulating symbols which may stand for(modell) something)

We don't know that human thought actually can run on a Turing Machine though.
