Is Akita an intelligent dog?

Excuse me, I was reading about the Akita breed and I couldn't help but wonder, is Akita considered an intelligent dog? I've heard conflicting opinions about their intelligence and I'm curious to know if there's a consensus among experts in the field. From my research, I've seen that they are often described as loyal and independent, but does that necessarily translate to intelligence? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
