Trump's AI rebrand causes 'unprecedented' demand for Slovenian website names
4 hours ago
- Trump proposed renaming AI to 'super intelligence' (SI), which matches Slovenia's .si domain suffix.
- Slovenia's domain registry reported an unprecedented 2,100% increase in .si domain registrations in September, with 44,000 new addresses.
- The surge included 11,000 registrations on September 30 alone, partly attributed to speculative domain investing.
- Trump signed an executive order requiring U.S. government agencies to use 'SI' and 'Super Intelligence' instead of 'AI' in official communications.
- The article corrected an earlier reference to cyber-squatting, noting that domain name investment for future profit is a legitimate business activity.
