It's possible that safety will eventually become the business advantage, just like privacy can be a business advantage today but wasn't taken so seriously 10-15 years ago by the general public.

This is not even that far-fetched. A safe AI that you can trust should be far more useful and economically valuable than an unsafe AI that you cannot trust. AI systems today aren't powerful enough for the difference to really matter yet, because present AI systems are mostly not yet acting as fully autonomous agents having a tangible impact on the world around them.
