Is intelligence the "natural" product of evolution?

Think about a scenario in which, on a given planet, a complex life form has already evolved.

In your opinion, what are the odds, for this complex form, to evolve towards intelligence?

Another way of basically rephrasing the same question is: "is there a certain level of complexity after which the evolution of life form MUST naturally tend towards intelligence, or is intelligence just an accident in the evolution of life?
