I would demur. There is a huge overlap in the techniques used in compression and those in intelligence. However, the significant difference is that intelligence, in interacting with the real world, has a motor component which allows it to select among possible future sensory histories in a way that is not a part of the standard formulation of compression. This leads to techniques such as experimental science -- the source of 99% of current human knowledge.
