Asking "Would an AI experience emotions?" is akin to asking "Would a robot have toenails?"
There is little functional reason for either of them to have those, but they would if someone designed them that way.
Edit: the background for this comment - I'm frustrated by the way AI is represented in (non-rationalist) fiction.
What sort of AIs have emotions? How can I tell whether an AI has emotions?
Given how emotions are essential to decision-making, I'd ask what sort of AI doesn't have emotions.
I'd say that a chess-playing program does not have emotions, and a norn does.
