The .ai extension, the official country extension of Anguilla, a small idyllic island in the Caribbean Sea, has seen an incredible boost since the arrival of AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Anguilla has seen a huge boost in domain name registrations since this year thanks to the rise of AI. Where a good 350,000 .ai names were registered at the end of last year, this had already increased to a good 425,000 in April 2024. A quick calculation shows that approximately 620 .ai names were registered per day during Q1 2024.
In July 2024, this number had already increased to a whopping 478,000 and in October 2024 the cape of half a million .ai registrations was rounded. Currently there are approximately 533,000 registered names registered under the .ai domain, making .ai about as many registered names as e.g. .fi (Finland) or .live.
This boost in domain name registrations is also having a huge impact on Anguilla’s own income, with .ai registrations now accounting for 20% of Anguilla’s national income.
