It can be both natural and artificial. Bananas are a perfect example. They grow in the wild, but not human-altered bananas are extinct. Hence they are natural, as they don't require humans to produce more of them, and artificial, as humans made them.
Also, if you want to get real pedantic, all human intelligence is artificial as you learn from other humans. Also, your parents made your mind.
We could just say a different word to distinguish them, like UI for uploaded intelligence, or anything really. Having a different word for each seems more productive than debate about which is the more accurate use.
