The AI will grow jelous of the rest of the world and a great war for humanity will happen. In the end the majority of the world population will rise victorious, with huge casualities on both sides; but it had to be done. The others, the westerners, weren't even human anymore at this point.
In capitalist America, ads view YOU!
