The interesting question is what could be such a “fire alarm event”, which will immediately change public attitude.
I see two variants:
1) Appearing of home robots able to speak and activating of Uncanny valley reaction in humans, who will start to feel the danger.
2) AI related catastrophic accident, like Narrow AI virus attack on a nuclear power station. The event could be called “AI Chernobyl”.
Global catastrophic AI could appear, unfortunately, without any such harbingers.
If we try to have a dialog with AI sceptics about what should be regarded as AI fire alarm, it may be useful.
