Artificial Intelligence has become one of the hottest topics in the tech world—and everywhere else for that matter. If you run a business, blog, or software in the ai / automation space, .ai is a great choice for your website. 700+ top companies are already using .ai domains for their primary websites, such as Lavender, Genesis Therapeutics, and Suki.

Originally, the .ai domain extension was created in 1995 as a ccTLD (country code Top-Level Domain) for Anguilla, a small British territory in the Caribbean.

According to Google, searches for ai domains have shot up exponentially, with a remarkable 203% increase in the past year due to industry game changers such as ChatGPT. Whether you’re serving a local or global community, now is the time to buy a .ai domain.
