If you mean a self-aware AI, then I doubt that the creator will have much to say if the artificial person will be good or bad. How much blame do you put on the parents of a killer?

The actions of a self-aware AI should be referred to Metaphysics and Axiology.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
