Government of Anguilla (.ai) partners with Identity Digital

The Government of Anguilla (GOA) and Identity Digital announced a new partnership to enhance the sustainability, resilience and security of .AI.

“The partnership will increase the revenue the Government of Anguilla receives from .AI while capitalizing on Identity Digital’s domain industry expertise and comprehensive platform. The boom in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and use of .AI domains generated 20 percent of the government’s total revenue in 2023 alone. The Government of Anguilla has plans to invest these funds back into the community, including expanding the airport, improving its technology vocational center and enhancing elder healthcare.”

“While the .AI domain has grown nearly 400 percent in the past five years, the Government of Anguilla and Identity Digital will usher in a new era of stable growth that will add reliability and predictability to the infrastructure. The web address has become a shared digital space among forward thinking businesses with connections to artificial intelligence. The new partnership ensures that .AI will mature into a trusted, recognizable and premier online destination even as it continues to experience explosive growth.”

“Identity Digital’s industry knowledge is unmatched, and we share a vision of sustainability,” said Ellis Webster, Premier of Anguilla. “Together, we will be responsible stewards of .AI, guaranteeing its stability, security, and global prominence.”

“Our goal is to offer country codes of all sizes a stable and resilient platform that delivers growth while connecting global users to their local communities,” said Akram Atallah, CEO of Identity Digital. “This partnership unlocks growing revenue streams for the government to invest back in their people. We’re thrilled to witness the positive impact this will have on Anguilla.”

“Identity Digital’s cutting-edge platform is trusted by major operators around the world including Public Interest Registry (PIR) (.org), Australia (.au), and Puerto Rico (.pr). Identity Digital provides a modern, secure cloud foundation for the .AI domain, enabling seamless growth and scalability. This will allow the Government of Anguilla to capitalize on the .AI growth while minimizing cybersecurity risks and protecting the domain’s reputation. Together, Identity Digital and the Government of Anguilla plan to build a world-class registry management program that prioritizes quality domains and instills trust in .AI domain names for years to come.”
