Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 2 (Xinhua)-- Anguilla, originally an island in the Caribbean, belongs to British territory and has had a ".ai" top-level domain name (country and region category) since the 1990s.

Tu Yuan Pixabay, of course, due to its territorial size and popularity, used to be easily ignored in hundreds of countries and regions, but now things seem to be a little different.

Anguilla is expected to earn as much as $30 million (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 218 million yuan) from its ".ai" domain name, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

In the past year, there has been an upsurge of AI around the world, which has made Anguilla's ".ai" top-level domain name very attractive to technology companies. Industry giants such as Musk's "X", Google, Microsoft and Meta, for example, have URLs such as X.ai, google.ai, microsoft.ai and so on, and can direct users to the pages of their AI services.

According to the report, the Anguilla ".ai" domain name has been run by Vince Cate as the administrator, and he said that the total number of website registrations ending with these two letters has actually doubled in the past year to 287432. Cate estimates that Anguilla's domain name registration fee will be as high as $30 million in 2023.

"things have been very different here since November 30, the date of ChatGPT's public release," Vince Cate said.
