A lot of SF uses artificial intelligences more as a metaphor for people who struggle to be accorded full personhood, or (depending on the author’s politics) for the threatening Other whose personhood isn’t authentic and whose existence poses a threat to us.
If you wanted to be science-fictional in a different way, you could leave those well-trodden paths and explore the actuality of “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning”: it’s not particularly similar to human intelligence and human learning, which is a strength more than it’s a weakness.
