It's been existing for many years now. Just think of all the image processing going on when you take a picture with your smartphone for example. NPUs have been in smartphones for years (I think Apple had their first NPU in the A11 of the iPhone 8 in like 2017).
Manufacturers simply didn't call it AI back then, and now it's a buzzword. And these "AI" features are getting more and more complex, so notebook chips now need dedicated NPUs to run this stuff quick and efficiently.
