Especially this series, because it's one that I could read and re-read and read again.
Because when a thing had the intelligence to know what you did to it, when it had the knowledge to understand how you looked at it, you didn't control it by force. You didn't control it at all. Because that thing was a person, then. And if there was one thing Tony did know, if there was one thing he'd lived his life knowing, it was that people were the one thing in all the world beyond anyone's power or right to control.
Beyond just those, though, the Ancillary Justice series by Ann Leckie, the series by Becky Chambers (The long way to a small angry planet, etc), and more fanfic by esama are at the top of my list.
I also love Transformers / Tron, but I don't count those here - as they're not really interested in exploring the 'AI' element as much.
