#UK #Anguilla #TLDs #AI #GenerativeAI #DomainSquatting #CyberSquatting: "The tropical British territory of Anguilla wasn’t known to many outside those who sought out its sun-kissed beaches. That was until the generative AI revolution. Suddenly, the island of around 16,000 people became a key broker in the future of our digital lives.

In the 1990s, it was given the domain name ending .AI. Back then, gTLDs (or generic top-level domain names) didn’t go much beyond .com, .org, or .net. The only real envisaged market for .AI domain name endings was local businesses on the island. Until ChatGPT changed everything, and the market for .AI domain names exploded.

Today, more than half a million .AI domain names are registered with Anguillan authorities, who have until now used a local firm called DataHaven.net. The domain names registered include x.ai and claude.ai but notably not open.ai, which is currently held up in a long-running dispute between an individual who claims to have invented the name and concept of OpenAI before Sam Altman unveiled it in 2015—and has a surprising amount of documentary evidence to support his case."
