Did something similar a couple years ago for co.uk, this time around I thought I would do one on .ai as it's an extension I've been watching for a while now and think it will have a great 2023.....

I've said it before, breaking down figures is not an area I excel in so anything that is missed, not fully readable etc is on me....

The below areas are what interested me.... so it might be missing other data that you wanted to see, if so share anything of interest in the comment section.....All the below data is from Namebio and is for reported sales over $100

I personally think this extension is primed for a great 2023 and we could see the first xxx,xxx next year - possibly a few, if they are reported......

The rise of Ai in so many different industries means there will be plenty of start ups entering the space, getting funding, established players looking for domain upgrades etc etc and this extension is perfectly placed to take advantage of the possible growth in this space.....

Some potential growth areas for Ai to keep an eye on in 2023........

Virtual Assistants, Fraud Prevention, Personalised Shopping
Smart Learning, Voice Assistants, Personalised Learning
Autonomous Vehicles, Facial Recognition
Recommendation Systems, Navigation, Robotics
HealthCare, Agriculture, Gaming

Great analytics and info.
I'm 99% (.com), but sometimes I purchase 1-2 word non dot-Coms.

I own <tradition.ai>. Being a dictionary, one-word term with easy recall made it an attractive pickup for me.

Still, I won't be purchasing any other (.ai), as prices are already being raised by registrars in anticipation of record-breaking (.ai) sales creating a registration boom year .

Will be interesting to see where (.ai) goes in 2023-2024.

yes, i just renewed 25 one word .ai domains - ouch - but i had several 5 figure .ai sales in 2021 and 2022, so hopefully renewals will pay off...

Seeing that the way of the future is leaning towards more AI-driven businesses, I will have to definitely acquire a .ai name for myself very soon. I just need to find the right niche that will not only be successful now but for years to come. I appreciate the breakdown provided by @NickB as it provided some helpful insight into the profitability of .ai domain names.

With several 5 figure sales in the books, the renewals were justified.
A proven track record is the market feedback need to decrease risk.

Wouldn't be surprised if you get a six figure sale out of at least one of those 25 renewals.

2023 is the Year Artificial Intelligence takes the a big leap in the mind of business and consumers.

i hope you're right...thank you
my one word .ai domains also fit the extension. there are maybe 5 that could get 6 figures each in the future...i'll need luck and be willing to decline 5 figures
