GoDaddy is introducing the .AI domain extension in the Kingdom. This addition offers opportunities for individuals, developers, startups, and research institutions, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s AI strategy.
The Kingdom has established the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) to drive the KSA Data & AI agenda with dimensions like ambition, skills, policies, investment, research, and innovation. The goal is to position Saudi Arabia as a global hub for Data & AI activities.
The .AI domains benefit small businesses across sectors, projecting innovation to customers. AI is projected to contribute $135 billion to Saudi Arabia’s economy, with AI’s GDP contribution rising to 12.4 percent by 2030.
Selina Bieber, VP at GoDaddy, commented that introducing .AI domains aims to let businesses embrace AI’s potential.
GoDaddy’s user-friendly tool helps entrepreneurs choose the right domain. The .AI domains support Saudi Arabia’s AI community, enabling businesses to harness AI’s potential.
The company also assists if a desired domain is already owned, through dedicated domain brokers who negotiate for the best price.
The .AI domain extension signifies technological expertise and innovation, shaping AI-driven businesses in Saudi Arabia.
An impressive 85 percent of business leaders anticipate the impact of generative AI in the next three years.
Saudi Arabia ranks high globally in AI strategy and has established the National Strategy for Data and AI (NSDAI).
With the launch of .AI domains, GoDaddy supports entrepreneurs and innovators in the evolving AI landscape, contributing to Saudi Arabia’s journey in becoming an AI leader.
