The biggest difference is Lacia's revival.
Anime: Boy Meets Girl
Novel: Image and Life
Lacia tells Arato she is the uso tool to protect Arato. She implies that she fabricates her dying story before gone inoperational, and other AI are convinced.
p.s. My feeling is that the story hasn't explained everything.
The story is missing story about Eliza. When Arato was young, he visited the factory and met the AI politician Eliza. Later, he told his classmate, because of beautiful Eliza, he was going to marry an AI like her. Eliza gave Arato warning before she got blown up. To memorize her, Higgins customize built a Eliza action figure, called Astraia. In anime, Arato convinced Lacia to take Astraia under her possession. Maybe Astraia is still active, as that oil tycoon's AI maid.
