Currently, there is no direct way to find the owner of the instance. Here is the Python Boto3 script which I use.

List all the instances and does API call to cloudtrail to find out who started(ec2:RunInstances) the instance.

In the AWS Management console you can use Tag Editor to search for resources that are not tagged:

(Optional) In the next Tags box, do any of the following:

Leave the box empty to search for all resources with the specified key and any value.

Select Not tagged to search for resources that do not have the specified tag key.

Select Empty value to search for resources that have the specified tag key but no value.

You will need to use CloudTrail. All API calls will be logged there, along with access keys identifying the principal that invoked the API. CloudTrail is enabled by default.
