However, the .ai domain name has emerged with strong momentum. It was still unknown two years ago, but now it has jumped to the third place in the sales price quantity list, and the sales rate is even the first, and the average sales price is also leading the pack. This phenomenon is closely related to the explosive growth in the field of artificial intelligence. The .ai suffix fits the technology trend, attracting many technology brands and start-ups, and becoming a new star in the domain name market.
