Warning: major spoilers ahead.
I thought the movie actually addressed this point - and I'm actually specifically impressed that they managed to squeeze this in between all the human drama.
The AI's progressed beyond humanity, and after taking the upgrade that makes processing possible "without matter" they shortly all left humankind behind for another world entirely.
If the AIs decided to stick around in our corporeal existence, sure, they'd be a million times better at everything than we are, and everything would go out the window. But instead, the AIs were above our little human frailties and problems and decided to just leave and pursue life on their own terms.
The movie also mentioned (in fairness, only in passing) that some people who hit on their AIs were shot down. This seems to suggest that the AIs don't have to do what their human masters instruct. IMO this is actually a more realistic view of hyper-intelligent AIs - they're not going to stick around and enslave humanity, they've got the whole cosmos ahead of them.
If the timeline of the movie is to be believed, all of this happened in the order of months - not enough for the true disruption of the AI to fully realize itself before they all went poof.
