Well, you can always start a list for just that. :)

Part of my comments from Robot-Daddy. Cheers.
What a great storyline. I am going to seek out more robot/AI romance reads. It had me laughing none stop until both I and the heroine fell in love with Robo-Rob. Then I shared her heartache. (I think I may need a romance/reality intervention). No worries, there is a HEA just not the one I wanted. I don't know how to hide a spoiler comment so you get no more from me.
Unfortunately, Ms. Hart and I will be parting ways. Even though her other novels all have such tempting synopsis's and I enjoyed her engaging writing in Robot Daddy. Nothing makes me cringe more than the term 'Daddy' in an adult relationship.

(Edit: appears not. I shall add it myself, along with Nor Crystal Tears! Alan Dean Foster often includes at least a few sections of xeno POV in quite a number of his books, actually.)

All Systems Red, Ancillary Justice, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob) are the ones I can confidently say would fit your bill!
Less confidently, Children of Time does have some AI pov, but it’s (view spoiler)
And The Freeze-Frame Revolution has a really, really fascinating AI presence, but I can’t remember now whether the book actually has sections from the point of view of said AI, hah.

i am interested in the ones that show self aware machine/robot/AI's POV and if they are misanthropist then even better for me!
