The Metal Men alone have many enemies who could fall under the heading of AI, including:
- The Gas Gang: A robot team made of gas, rather than metal.
- The Inheritor: A plastic robot with all of the Metal Men's abilities and none of their weaknesses.
- Chemo: A man-shaped vat of toxic waste that gained pseudo-life with a very limited intelligence.
On the subject of novels featuring an AI, one to mention is "Virtual Girl" by Amy Thomson. A man builds a female robot as a companion and it develops a true AI.
Since "Chobits" has been mentioned, I'll mention a few other anime that features at least one AI or possible AI: A.D. Police, All-Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku-Nuku, Armitage III, Astro Boy, Big O, Bubblegum Crisis, Dragonball Z, Excel Saga, Ghost In The Shell, Macross Plus, Mahoromatic, Saber Marionette J, and Steel Angel Karumi.
I must also mention "Angelic Layer" (AL). Although the anime of "Chobits" doesn't mention it, both AL and "Chobits" are set in the same universe and the events of AL (such as the development of the angels) lead to the creation of the persocoms.
