Probably nothing.

This is wide-scale bike-shedding[1], basically. The real problems our unsustainable civilization faces (population overshoot, energy and fossil fuel shortage, ecological collapse, unsustainable agriculture, climate change, and so on) are between hard to impossible to solve at this point. They're also actually scary to think about.

So instead we talk about the "easy" and trivial stuff first. AI and singularity happen to be a nice kind of scary, because hardly anybody really believes it's a serious threat. It's kind of like watching a scary movie. You get a bit scared, but not too much, because you know there's no real danger.
