.AI domain – not .AI gained popularity recently among Artificial Intelligence (AI) startups and businesses. Often because of most of the .COM domains are already taken. However, with businesses routinely now opting for other top-level domains the .AI top-level domain is almost required if you have an AI-based company.
It looks like the .AI domain was created for Artificial Intelligence like other extension domains like .art or .cloud. However, that is just wishful thinking. The .AI domain name is a country code top-level domain assigned to Anguilla. Anguilla is a small British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
Although the market leaders in AI do not have a .AI domain name, market research shows that it can boost the credibility of AI startups.
So, that is the short story behind the .AI domain.
