ChatGPT has boosted the .ai domain, with the Anguilla government seeing a 20% increase in revenue.

[Coin World] On August 22, 2023 (UTC+8), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released data showing that since the launch of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, the registration of the Anguilla (.ai) top-level domain has surged, with 354,000 registrations in 2023, generating up to 87 million Eastern Caribbean dollars (approximately 32 million USD) in revenue, accounting for over 20% of the country's total annual fiscal revenue, far exceeding the 5% in 2022. The Anguilla government stated that it expects this revenue to stabilize at around 15% of fiscal income in the future and plans to use this "AI dividend" for long-term infrastructure investments such as airport construction and renewable energy. Currently, the registration fee for .ai domain names is 140 USD for 2 years, with a renewal rate of up to 90%. Some expired domain names, such as "litiGate.ai," have even been auctioned for a high price of 13,000 USD.
