If it had one would it need an artificial heaven to go to if it died?

Would an artificial intelligence require a soul to be fully functional?

"To be fully functional", probably not, but Im sure such a creature thast acted like a human in other other ways would be kind of creepy...
@Scootertrp: A calculator isn't a form of artificial intelligence. Nor are modern computers with subroutines, though they are closer. Really artificial intelligence is adaptable (or learns by itself), which calculators never do and even computers don't...

I would believe so. But even humans don't have a soul. They are a soul.
The soul is the person themselves. Not something separate. The immortal soul is a false doctrine promoted by Satan. Satan is the one that told Eve if she ate of the fruit she would not die. But she did die so Satan promoted the thought that man has a soul that lives forever and the pagan religions passed on this theory. Gen. 2:7 says that God breathed the breath of life into Adam and he came to be a living soul. He was not given a soul but became one. The Bible never says the soul is immortal. It says that souls die. That is because they are the living entity.
1 Cor. 15:45: "It is even so written: 'The first man Adam became a living soul.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." (So the Christian Greek Scriptures agree with the Hebrew Scriptures as to what the soul is.) (The Greek word here translated "soul" is the accusative case of psy?khe'. KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, and Kx also read "soul." RS, NE, and TEV say "being."
Gen. 9:5: "Besides that, your blood of your souls [or, "lives"; Hebrew, from ne'phesh] shall I ask back." (Here the soul is said to have blood.)
Josh. 11:11: "They went striking every soul [Hebrew, ne'phesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword." (The soul is here shown to be something that can be touched by the sword, so these souls could not have been spirits.)
Lev. 24:17, 18: "In case a man strikes any soul [Hebrew, ne'phesh] of mankind fatally, he should be put to death without fail. And the fatal striker of the soul [Hebrew, ne'phesh] of a domestic animal should make compensation for it, soul for soul." (Notice that the same Hebrew word for soul is applied to both mankind and animals.)
Rev. 16:3: "It became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul* died, yes, the things in the sea." (Thus the Christian Greek Scriptures also show animals to be souls.) (*In Greek the word here is psykhe'. KJ, AS, and Dy render it "soul." Some translators use the term "creature" or "thing.")

AI has proved to be a lot harder to create than first thought. I attended a conference in the early 1970s in which a speaker promised we would be seeing AI by 1985. Didn't happen because understanding intelligence remains tantalizingly out of our reach.
