Clear. What would you if you had invented self-conscious AI? You need data to grow it. Create a search bot and start harvesting as much data as you physicallyc can eat, to make sure you're beyond any competitor by the time they catch up. Send hard drives to researchers to kindly host their data. Harvesting data on the web is cute, but most of the knowledge is given in classrooms and workshops. Start sponsoring online classes, or invent Google Glass, so you can attend MBA and physics classes.
Fortunately no-one has invented AI yet.
