Intelligence is emerging just like it was with humans. It's not a thing so it wont come from somewhere. As always solving the small problems will eventually allow solutions to emerge we weren't aware of and that might turn into human like or more probably technology like intelligence far surpassing humans. I always find it fascinating that we have no problem accepting that we became intelligent over time and out of nowhere (Unless you are religious which is a whole other discussion) we even have no issues imagening that life and intelligence could have happened other places in the universe. But the idea of a non-carbon based intelligence is a big debate as if it's somehow unimaginable to think that AI could emerge from human hand while having no problem entertaining the idea that we our intelligence is somehow a unique snowflake.
