Yeah, i find the connection between consciousness and intelligence tenuous at best. Our survival imperative, thermodynamic and game theoretical constraints give rise to it and i'd argue that every living organism has a form of consciousnes, from very primitive to, well, our level. So yeah, I believe we'll have far more intelligent ais in the future that would otherwise be inert. Ofcourse, in our foolishness, we could create an ai with the goal of survival and replication at the expense of everything else. Or self optimisation could inadvertedly do so
