President Donald Trump's proposal to rename AI as super intelligence, or SI, has sparked an "unprecedented" surge in registrations for Slovenian website names, according to the nation's official registry. Klara Herman, a spokesperson for register.si, reported a staggering 44,000 new .si domain registrations in September, a marked jump of over 2,100% from the 2,000 registrations recorded in August. She described the activity in late September as "unprecedented" compared to the previous year.
During his UN General Assembly speech on September 11, Trump advocated for the technology's name change, stating that "the use of the word artificial makes it sound fake," but emphasizing that it is, in fact, "amazing." The move to register .si domains appears to be directly tied to Trump's remarks, with 11,000 new registrations alone logged on September 30. While Herman remains cautious about attributing the entire surge to Trump's comments, the spike in registrations is clearly noteworthy.
