It happens a lot where people make this jump from autonomous machines to sentient machines. It isn't a small gap. Going from domain learning and genetic algorithms to develop solutions for a hardcoded task to sapience is a huge leap. It won't be accidental, or at least come out of nowhere. We should be able to see it coming even if it will come out of evolving algorithms. There will absolutely be intent in constructing intelligent artificial life.
