If you think about it, this could be the first AI in history who (and not just it's human masters) owns something, assuming code changes to steal his stuff are generally unacceptable, and Ether didn't have a bunch of these guys earlier.
This brings me to another question I've been meaning to ask, which is: where does the AI live? I feel that for us to consider it a truly autonomous entity, it must live on the blockchain, with its code in the messages or something like that (or another decentralized structure). I think it's good that we can use AI bots to make NPC characters to flesh out the Huntercoin world with, and that it's OK to have them on someone's computer/server until we can upgrade the core protocol further, but long-term we should want the world to be as decentralized as possible.
