Who Owns the Creation of an Artificial Intelligence?

Quasi-versions of artificial intelligence are already around us. We're on the cusp of self-driving cars, self-directed surgery machines, and machines that we can literally have a conversation with. And of course, as with any new technology, a few kinks have to get ironed out. Artificially "intelligent" machines already are used to to do quite a bit, including creating algorithms to solve problems. This form of "learning" is making machines more "intelligent" every day. In a few years, we'll be having such a deep and intimate discourse with our machines that we will be spending more time with them than we are with other human beings.
