GM Michael Stean lost to Cyber 176 (a mainframe 'supercomputer') in 1977 (at blitz). AFAIK this was the first time a computer defeated a GM; they began defeating IMs and experts some ten years before that. Kasparov himself lost to Fritz 2 at blitz as early as 1992.

"Under tournament conditions" is the condition everyone forgets. Go AIs were competing with ranked players given handicaps of varying degrees of absurdity.
