The Adolescence of P-1 by Thomas J. Ryan
This is the story of P-1, the most charming--and frightening--literary "child" since Robert Heinlein's Mycroft Holmes, and a tour de force in the literary exploration of artificial intelligence.

A young college student writes a self replicating computer “virus,” programmed to survive, that becomes self-aware. The program grows and makes mistakes and learns.

In 1984 it was adapted into a Canadian made-for-TV film entitled "Hide and Seek".
