A.X.L.

A defense department contractor has developed an AI war dog, but the dog gets loose in training. It is found by our protagonist (a motorcycle riding teen who is new to the neighborhood, has no friends, but is about to get a girlfriend) and the dog (AXL) bonds with him. This personal bonding is developmentally important for the AI, so when the owner finds out, the scenario is allowed to progress. AXL helps the guy get the girls, and puts the bully in place. Everyone learns a little bit more about humanity, and the misconceptions around AI are exacerbated.
