Any science fiction novels where one of the characters is an AI that was put into a living human body by some means? The only example of this I can think of is Agent Smith during the third Matrix movie.
Martha Wells’ *Murderbot Diaries* series follows a cyborg – a combo of human and mechanical parts. Humanoid in appearance, depicted as clad in armor – so, more robot-like. The deadpan humored cyborg hires out as security to humans at the edge of the galaxy. Part of the story line is it trying to understand humans.
The first one is **All Systems Red**.

*Old Man’s War* series by John Scalzi (specifically Book 2, *Ghost Brigades*)

I think A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers has this plot. It’s a starship system that expresses itself as a personality and gets downloaded into a freestanding body, but I can’t remember if it’s a human or cyborg body. Anyone else remember?
