Under that hypothesis, shouldn't AI safety have become a "thing" (by which I assume you mean "gain mainstream recognition") back when Deep Blue beat Kasparov?
If you look up mainstream news article written back then, you'll notice that people were indeed concerned. Also, maybe it's a coincidence, but The Matrix movie, which has AI uprising as it's main premise, came out two years later.
The difference is that in 1997 there weren't AI-risk organizations ready to capitalize on these concerns.
Which organizations are you referring to, and what sort of capitalization?
