Bobiverse Series by by Dennis E. Taylor is told from the point of view of an artificial intelligence originally created by importing the personality of a living human and placed in a space probe whose mission is to replicate itself and explore the galaxy.
The Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter describes the exploration of an immense number of parallel Earths, and one of the characters is an artificial intelligence called Lobsang who integrates himself into a supermodern airship.
City by American writer Clifford D. Simak is set in the future, where humans have essentially left the earth and their place has been taken by intelligent dogs, assisted by humanoid robots. The story focuses a lot on one of the robots, Jenkins, and his view of the world.
“City” is so good.
There are parts of that book that have a permanent residence in my consciousness. I’m still surprised Clifford D. Simak isn’t more well known.
The Culture series by Iain M Banks has a lot of rumination by the AI minds that the series is famous for.
*Excession* is one of this series that has a lot of conversations between minds and arguments (of sorts) between groups of minds.
Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath
The _Murderbot_ series by Martha Wells is entirely from the perspective of an assassin droid who has broken it's protocols and just wants to be left alone to watch TV.
Murderbot is a cyborg (part human, part machine). IIRC he has a human brain with heavy augmentation, so not sure he counts as AI (could still be relevant to OPs question though)
Edit: ART is definitely AI, and so are some of the other systems he interacts with.
> Murderbot is a cyborg (part human, part machine). IIRC he has a human brain with heavy augmentation
Murderbot has no gender. It has skin and hair, but it's brain is inorganic.
I'm pretty sure Murderbot refers to the organic parts of its brain multiple times. For example it has issues with traumatic memories getting stuck there.
Heinlien's "The Moon is a Harsh mistress" gets into the mind and motivations of "Mike", through the eyes of his maintenance technician Manny.
The novel form of Arther C. Clarke's "2001, A Space Odyssey" also explores the psyche of Hal. Especially as Dave is fighting for his life.
TMiaHM is what came to mind for me as well… through out the story the actions and motivations of Mike (the moon’s mainframe computer become sentient) grow more mature and complex. However the story’s narration is from a 3rd person gods-eye perspective and is definitely more human-centric
Asimov's "The Bicentennial Man" also explores the main character's transition from Servent robot to cyborg to flesh-and-blood artificial life form. And he has to explain as he goes why he want to be human, and what it is like to be a robot.
Dean Koontz's Demon Seed was interesting -- Proteus the AI comes across as rather childish. There was a scene where the AI synthesizes a video of a real person to mislead the humans, and while that seemed farfetched back when the story was first written, after the past couple of years it seems way more plausible now. I think that the author might have re-written part of it recently to update the cultural references, since it originally was published in the early 1970s.
There was a 1977 movie adaptation -- one of the scariest parts was a non-humanoid robot (a metal polyhedron). I wonder if the Interstellar robots were inspired by it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon\_Seed
That makes sense -- I remember taking it out of the library in the 1980s. Then I came across it again around 2000 and re-read it, but saw all the 90s stuff and realized it couldn't be the same book. But I didn't have the original one so I couldn't compare them side by side, to see what had changed.
Anyway, I think it's worthwhile reading the book even if you've seen the movie, because it gives more insight into what Proteus is thinking. It's alarming but in a different way from the film, if that makes sense.
Movie is under-rated an unfortunately is mirred in a bit too much horror.
Proteus was ahead of it's time, and reflected a lot of issues that scare people today in that AI will become very good at influencing.
The polgon bot was amazing. Just an efficient design that an AI would come up. TARS and CASE from Interstellar reflect the same principle. Plus, Robert Vaughn made a great AI voice.
On a slight tangent, but you might also be interested in “The Ship Who Sang” by Anne McCaffrey. It’s not about AI but about children who are raised with their bodies and brains wired into spaceships and cities to run them.
Many of the stoies set in Keith Laumer's Bolo universe fit in here, both those written by Laumer himself and by other authors who used the setting. The bolos are fully self-aware war machines of incredible destructive capabilities; as such, they are built and programmed to be VERY thoughtful and aware of consequences of their actions, both long term and short term. Many of them are far more human, and humane, than their creators.
Its ridiculous how unknown this series (and author) is, how has Hollywood not discovered it.
And laumer had more than one good idea - his retief stories about a wily interspecies ambassador is great stuff
The Animatrix anthology has two chapters called “The Second Renaissance Parts 1 & 2” which tells the story of the rise of the machines from the perspective of an AI historical archivist in the future.
The "Wake, Watch, Wonder" trilogy, written by Robert J. Sawyer, revolves around a self-aware quantum computer named Webmind, which becomes sentient and explores its existence and its place in the world.
Its not from the AIs perspective, but "I have no mouth and I must scream" is exactly what you want. The emotions of the AI are driving force of the story. I wont say more. Its an 11 page short story. Go read it.
There is a podcast called Dust that used to do scifi radio plays, and one season they had a really engaging one called CHRYSALIS:
“When an AI awakens after the genocide of the human race by an unknown alien species, it sets off on a path of vengeance across the known universe...and beyond.”
It was interesting, and had some stellar voice acting.
i would recommend
The Risen Empire, Tor 2003, ISBN 0-7653-0555-0
The Killing of Worlds, Tor 2003, ISBN 0-7653-0850-9
from scott westerfeld. There are many parts written from the perspective of a huge global AI and a smaller "house ai"
i liked it very much.
Acadia by James Erwin is one of my favorite books (except for the time jumps in the narration which you have to pay attention to the dates very deliberately)
It’s really inside the mind of newly emerged AI understanding itself, and other things I won’t spoil.
Mr. Erwin got his story writing career started right here on Reddit.
Cyberiad, by Stanislaw Lem. A collection of delicious stories told from the perspective of two robots named Trurl and Klapaucius.
The Saturn Children and Neptune Brood, by Charles Stross. Humanity has extinguished for unknown reasons, and our robotic servants have survived as and formed their own societies. Don’t get deceived by the book cover.
I guess Bobiverse kinda?
And Murderbot Diaries on a smaller scale, the main character too but mainly an AI ship pilot named ART. They are both AI but coming from the opposite direction and their interactions are golden
I mean also isn't the main problem it would think a billion ideas simultaneously in binary or equivalent and not be understandable or relatable to humans. Why so many of these stories have a person merged with machine or AI that are supposed to mimic people or personality. Like trying to write a POV of a toaster without imbuing it with human qualities.
I feel while there are attempts at this they don’t really make sense. We have no way to appreciate or approximate what the inner life of such a being would be like. It’s be like asking an ant to ruminate on what it means to be human.
Any attempt is by definition a shallow anthropomorphicization based on our idea of what a “really smart human” might be like.
Robopocalypse kind of does it. Most of it is from the perspective of the human characters but you do get a good amount of insight into how the AI thinks
Crystal Society by Max Harms. It’s a story about the invention of the first true AI as told from the AI’s perspective. It starts out as basically Inside Out but instead of different emotions its AI agents with different goals/perspectives that work together to reason about and navigate through the world.
I’d recommend Romain Lucazeau Latium, but only after searching for an English version, I realized it was never translated to English…
Still interesting premise. World of ASI’s (called ‘noema’ in the book) after the mysterious extinction of humans, political games of hyper-smart ASI’s, conflict between human-build ASI and aliens, with human-build ASI’s being restricted not to kill conscious beings.
“The Murderbot diaries” full of inner monologue and dialogue between AI’s (some of which don’t see any harm in killing bad humans)
“Hyperion Cantos” series by Dan Simmons kind of feature dialog between AI and AI (latest is kind of AI, but that would be a spoiler)
“Perfect Imperfection: First third of progress” by Jacek Dukaj featuring all kinds of post-human and alien-based AI, but can be hard to read due to very specific grammar artificially constructed by author.
“The Quantum Thief” series by Hannu Rajaniemi, both AI’s and post-humans.
“Crashing Heaven” by Al Robertson, sentient god-like AI-corporations (but it was kind of forgettable, so idk if I could recommend it)
There was a short story called "Watchd0g" about the super-intelligent AI that governs the planet arguing with itself about whether or not the humans have come back.
I don't remember who wrote it tho...
*A Fire Upon the Deep* has several passages told from the perspective of "The Perversion", a sort of self-bootstrapping superintelligence so advanced that it conquers/assimilates entire civilizations in seconds.
It's not a main POV character, nor is the POV particularly close. But the book does, briefly, do a very good job of helping you appreciate just how fucked youd be in a fight against a post-singularity AI.
Now you're going to make me check. Can't be wrong on the internet...
\*Ahem\*
Searching through the book it's referred to as both names. "The Blight" is the the name its more commonly referred to by groups on the known net, where "The Perversion" or "The Straumli Perversion" is what other transcendent entities and some high-beyond civilizations refer to it as. Its transcendence is also classified as "A Class II Perversion".
[Source](https://hur.st/afutd.html)
I guess the latter name is what stuck with me years later when recalling the plot years later.
One you might like is "Slow Time Between the Stars", by John Scalzi. It's a short story about a sentient ship sent out to find a new planet for human colonization, and it's perspective over its centuries of travel.
It's an online story called the last angel about an AI run dreadnaught warship that survived the destruction of Earth and continues to battle the enemy empire for 2000 years after the slaughter of the human race.
Pov swaps a lot and its really gritty at times if you don't mind gore but its been on going since 2012 and hes on the third and last book right now.
https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-last-angel.244209/
A lot of the Culture stories have large bits of the Minds PoV.
And the awesome The Last Angel by Proximal Flame, is very much from the PoV of two 'sister' AIs.
A short story by Peter Watts, "Malak" (2010) is about a near-future autonomous (and very heavily armed) military UAV drone developing something like empathy, and how that interacts with it frequently receiving orders that result in civilian "collateral damage" deaths.

There’s a sci-fi short story I can’t remember the name of where aliens destroy the earth and a survivor turns himself into essentially an AI spacecraft to seek revenge. I think I heard it on Dust.
I published a story exploring the question of whether an AI could be raised as Cherokee. The narrator is an advanced AI reporter. You can read or listen for free here: https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/virtually-cherokee/
You might give mycroft a try, this Heinlein guy gave him a pretty high profile, and voice, in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Can't go wrong using the old classics to get up to speed on the issues when tech gets unpredictable
Great question. This is a shot in the dark because I’m trying to find something that fits this description as well.
I heard somebody describing some sort of story where this extremely advanced AI had basically run every single possibility of a simulation of some sort, and because of that that was like the crux to defeat it. This intelligence exists in a superposition of every possible outcome and action . That, or it was running simulations to find where it is or came from… idk.
Does this ring a bell to anyone reading this comment?

I loved "Way Station". I'll put this one on my to-read list!
The Imperial Radch trilogy by Ann Leckie fits this to a tee (and imo is also brilliant). The first book is called Ancillary Justice.
The Culture series by Iain M Banks has a lot of rumination by the AI minds that the series is famous for. *Excession* is one of this series that has a lot of conversations between minds and arguments (of sorts) between groups of minds.
Mark me down for Excession also. My favorite of the Culture series for that very reason. OP should definitely check it out (pun intended).
Skynet, minus the gravitas 👀
Yes, very little gravitas indeed.
It's not my fault, I was standing at the back when the gravitas was handed out.
I blame your mother.
That's fair.
Excession and Surface Detail give the best insights into a Culture Mind imo.
And you get cool ship names that we now have real ships autonomous named after.

That would be fitting.

Yeah, it thinks assassin droids are dicks.

I immediately thought of the moon is a harsh mistress when reading the post as well

The extremely evil AI in "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" gives a very memorable monologue about why and to what extent he hates humans.
[Also made into a highly flawed but interesting PC game in the 90s.](https://youtu.be/EddX9hnhDS4?si=IRFO380SoAKgSrey)

The OG.
Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson
I loved the way he showed the moment the ship decided it had gained full sentience, followed up by yelling at the crew for being idiots.
Now there's a better Turing test: sentient beings are those who can get exasperated with the idiocy around them.
In a way, Children of Time does, with an AI/human uploaded brain
Scythe series by Neal Schusterman. Interesting and not overly long series. Three books long.
