Fiction advice

Hi all,

I want to try my hand at a story from the perspective of an unaligned AI (a ghost in the machine narrator kind of thing) for the intelligence in literature contest, which I think would be both cool and helpful to the uninitiated in explaining the concept.

I want a fairly simple and archetypal experiment the AI finds itself in where it tricks the researchers into escaping by pretending to malfunction or something. Anyone have a good plotline /​ want to collaborate?

Also, has this sort of thing been done before?
