No, your air conditioner doesn't have any chemical processes going on, the whole thing is physical.
The electricity used to power your air conditioner however, may be generated at the power station by the burning of coal, oil or natural gas.....these do creat carbon dioxide, but then again so do you....every time you breathe.

Your air conditioner will emit the same gases that it sucks in. If your room is full of carbon dioxide, the AC will suck it in, cool it, and spit out back out. If your room contains only normal air, it will only spit out normal air (minus some water that condenses inside the AC unit). This is why AC air is generally quite dry.
An AC unit will not add any carbon dioxide to your room, except by the very roundabout way of using electricity, causing coal plants to have to burn more coal.

Only indirectly. Your a/C unit itself only sucks in air, cools it don and blows it out again.
However, that takes a lot of energy and this energy is more often than not produced by burning fossil fuels such as mineral oil, gas or coal. And that process does emit carbon dioxide.
