The trilogy-to-be (I assume) that includes The Unincorporated Man and The Unincorporated War, by Dani and Eytan Kollin, has a series of narratives that includes one by an AI among a race of AIs. (Only briefly mentioned in the first book, the second has much more focus on this.) While there isn't much philosophical discussion that goes on in the series about "convincing" (or real) AI, they are treated as another form of intelligence that can relate to humans at their level - and there's a bit of talk about their different perceptions and interactions. Still, the authors at least imply that whatever form an intelligence takes, that any culture of one intelligence will end up having the same kind of problems as a culture of any other kind of intelligence. Specifics aside, they seem to say that form doesn't matter.
