Since the launch of ChatGPT less than a year ago, many industries have undergone significant transformations, especially in the realm of artificial intelligence, reflected in the prominence of .ai domain extensions. .ai domains have emerged as the most popular domain suffix in the past year, showing no signs of diminishing. As of the writing of this article, NameBio data indicates that there have been 2,365 sales of .ai extensions in 2023, totaling $4.8 million. Here are the top 10 .ai domain sales for 2023.

The highest reported .ai sale this year is you.ai, fetching $700,000, followed by stack.ai at $258,888, and NPC.ai at $250,000. NPC.ai's allure lies in the fact that investors acquired the domain for just $100 in 2019. Other notable sales include service.ai at $127,500 and agent.ai at $125,000.
It's worth noting that NameBio only discloses a fraction of retail sales, and the mentioned figures encompass both wholesale and retail amounts, excluding sales below $100. There are reports of even larger sales, including a $1.5 million sale mentioned in a BBC article currently being discussed in the domain industry. However, all figures here only include verified and reported sales on NameBio.

In comparison, the total sales amount of .ai domains in 2023 ($4.8 million) surpasses .io ($1.9 million), .co ($986,000), .tv ($323,000), .me (which stands at $244,000 during the same period), and .us ($296,000). Furthermore, .ai outperforms the combined total of all new extensions ($3.5 million) and .net ($2.5 million).
