The internet organization ICANN has opened applications for new top-level domains for the first time in several years. The organization has received 1,615 applications for new top-level domains from a total of 481 applicants. Among these, the interest in artificial intelligence is dominant, as reported by The Verge. A total of ten companies want to acquire the top-level domain .agent, including Open AI and Meta.

Seven have applied for .agi while six seek .asi. Additionally.intelligence and .superintelligence have attracted several applicants.
