The AI Boom in Anguilla!
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on September 1, 2023, 10:08 PMImagine those who bought those .ai domains. Now, it would be raining credit alerts in their bank accounts:
What does a tiny Caribbean island have to do with the AI boom? A lot, right now: The British territory of Anguilla, which has been using country-specific .ai internet addresses since the 1990s, is suddenly finding the domains in high demand for new AI businesses — including high-profile ones like Google and X. The number of .ai site registrations has doubled over the past year, and could generate as much as $30 million in 2023, up from $7.4 million in 2021. That's roughly a quarter of the country's expected recurring revenue for the year. (LinkedIn News)
AI is transforming markets, including on college essay: 'ChatGPT is forcing higher education to consider the potential consequences of artificial intelligence on the admissions essay, writes The New York Times. The technology could lead to plagiarism or create doubt about whether the students’ writing is an accurate reflection of their true selves. But, AI could also level the playing field for some students who require extra help. Teachers are largely concerned ChatGPT will chip away at critical thinking and storytelling. One student in Georgia told the Times that after experimenting with an AI tool for her essay, she found the "responses too broad and impersonal."'
