The Lifecycle Of Software Objects by Ted Chiang
A small group of humans raise and care for artificially intelligent virtual beings initially created for entertainment, guiding their socialization and development over years while navigating the economic, legal, and ethical challenges of maintaining evolving software minds; the story follows the emotional bonds that form, the strain of long-term commitment amid market and technical obsolescence, and the difficult questions about responsibility, personhood, and how — or whether — to provide these digital creatures the autonomy and continuity they need to flourish.
