J. Staute and the first immortal artificial intelligence, 1990 AD through 3450 AD outlines the birth of the first A.I. destined to function forever, and what that A.I. does in its earliest years.
What becomes the creator of the first immortal artificial intelligence? Reference notes on the life and times of J. Staute, 1960s AD through 2049 AD; The novel linked just below describes one result of confusion among time travelers stemming from two men with the same name existing in the late 20th century. One of these men ultimately creates a powerful A.I. which will eventually bring about the events described in the novel. The other man will one day document much of his experience of being caught up in this cosmic case of mistaken identity, in a historic document, later referenced by the time travelers.
This link offers more details about the man who created the A.I.

The story of Kerri and Cluke, 2017 AD through 2615 AD; Kerri is a brilliant and beautiful (and unimaginably successful) thief of the 21st century.

But being one of us (raised in the 21st century) she discovers future centuries to be much tougher to get a handle on. After a long struggle she manages to actually lose her physical body (it goes its own way), and get trapped in computers.
Lucky for Kerri, Cluke is like a super-intelligent and faithful dog. Cluke also manages to adapt to the future better than Kerri. So he fiercely protects her from her own mistakes, and then helps her find her footing as a disembodied entity...
