Intelligent systems are systems which design and deploy nanomachines that make life on earth inhospitable for humans.
Oh, so human diseases in the form of bacteria/viruses! And humans working on gain-of-function research.
I actually have no problem calling either of those systems intelligent, as long as the bacteria/viruses are evolving on a short enough timescale. I guess you could call them slow.
