If you create a true artificial intelligence, are you morally justified in doing whatever you want to that creation? Can you hurt them if you want? [Spirituality & Religion]

Imagine a hypothetical AI being of the kind we see in science fiction; truly real persons that are artificially created.
Is it a moral action for you to cause that being to suffer if they do not meet your standards? Are you morally right to do that? They are utterly your creation, they do not exist without your act of creation. Does that mean you can torture them or abuse them or subjugate them and still be morally justified?

That is the argument that theists use for god.
Is it still a satisfying argument when we remove the conceits we allow for god?
