I believe this could depend on the complexity of AI. If we're talking about 'real' artificial intelligence that is self-aware and can mimic human thinking, can interact with human beings as we do with one another then perhaps at first we should recognize AI as natural person or entity, or legal person and grant them necessary rights; which later would lead to all sort of legal issues including copyrights. But if we're talking about AI that is just an algorithm that automates tasks then perhaps its creators should hold the rights or the work should become part of public domain.
