In September, AI keywords ranked first in the afternic search!

This year, with the release of ChatGPT, large-scale artificial intelligence language models have triggered a global development peak. Meanwhile, the ".ai" domain names of the small island nation of Anguilla have benefited the most, earning $30 million in the first half of the year.

According to statistics from the foreign professional domain trading platform Afternic, in September, the keyword "AI" ranked first in search results on the platform. The search volume for "AI" is consistently high every month since our monitoring began.

The keyword "AI" has consistently held a spot in the top three on the platform's monthly ranking since our observation began! The top three keywords for September are "AI," "my," and "group," with "AI" dropping to the fourth position in August but reclaiming the top spot by September 2023. This chart represents the keywords that sold the most on Afternic this month.

The increasing interest in AI domain names is evident from the search keywords. Despite the relatively higher registration prices compared to other domains, people's enthusiasm for AI domains remains strong.

Additionally, on foreign forums, a domain owner inquired about the value of "RoboAI.com" and requested evaluations. Many individuals offered their estimations, with one investor providing a professional assessment suggesting a minimum value of $350,000 (approximately 2.5 million RMB) for RoboAI.com. Others believed the domain's value ranged from $1 million to $10 million, depending on the end-user enterprise's specific use.
