Information is the reduction of uncertainty. If it does not reduce uncertainty it is not information.

Intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty.

The revelation of the light is information. Navigating the contours of darkness is intelligence.

If the cave walls glowed in response to proximity (of the observer) then the light source would have a modicum of intelligence.
