Trump’s Super Intelligence edict supercharges .si domain registrations

US President Donald Trump's rebranding of artificial intelligence (AI) as "super intelligence" (SI) has sparked a surge in interest for the .si domain registry, according to a report by Computerworld. In just 24 hours following Trump's executive order, Slovenia's .si domain registry saw a significant increase in registrations, with 9,780 new .si domains registered.

This marks a stark contrast to the previous month, when only 3,515 .si domains were registered, and even further from the average of 2,726 registrations per month and 110 per day during the same period last year. The price for .si domain registrations typically stands at $10, but it is notably higher for .ai domains, which are associated with the island of Anguilla and currently cost $90.

The sudden surge in .si registrations has led to speculation among conspiracy theorists about a potential link between First Lady Melania Trump's Slovenian heritage and Trump's decision to rebrand AI as SI.
