Would the creator of Strong AI be the most powerful person in the world?

Question

Would the person who figures it out and creates a Strong AI, be considered the most powerful person on the planet? What do you think the responsibilities of this person would be in this situation? What would you do if you found yourself in this person's position?

Why? There are plenty of people on the world who can harness the intelligence of thousands of BI systems (BI=biologically intelligent). Even if the AI is more energy efficient, I don’t think it would automatically make a difference.
Or are you thinking of something beyond “Strong AI”, where the AI is so much smarter than humans that it is smarter than the collective intelligence of thousands?
(As far as I know, no definition of “Strong AI” makes that AI by necessity smarter or faster-thinking than human AI.
