If you are using GNU Tar, there are some options that control this:

-o, --no-same-owner
do not attempt to restore ownership when extracting; -o exhibits
this behavior when extracting an archive

This will cause GNU Tar to ignore the stored ownership in the archive
and restore the files using the ownership of the process running tar
(root in your case).

Also:

--owner USER
change owner of extraced files to USER

This can be used to set the ownership of the extracted file to the
ownership you select.

(I don't know if AIX ships with GNU Tar or if it has its own version,
which may or may not have these or similar options.)
