Is .人工智能 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.人工智能 is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Beijing Zhuoyue Yutong Technology.
Chinese-script 'artificial intelligence' ending: timely word, but Chinese-character addresses are rarely a project's main identity.
chinese-market AI companies and labs wanting a Chinese-script address for marketing or defensive brand coverage, plus domestic registrars promoting a topical Chinese-word ending; rarely the primary identity of a serious product
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet: the era's frontier technology-field noun, written in a CJK script so that one language market's companies plant their primary identity on the category itself rather than on a brand.
Same bet in the identical script and market — an open Chinese-character generic noun for a technology domain, wagering that Chinese-reading buyers will adopt a native-script category namespace over a Latin one.
Also a Chinese-script abstract technology-sector noun sold as a horizontal category namespace, but "information" is an established umbrella word rather than a named frontier capability, so it rides adoption rather than a hype cycle.
What a .人工智能 domain is
.人工智能 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our AI & tech category. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .人工智能 domain extension real yet?
.人工智能 is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .人工智能 domain?
You can’t yet. A .人工智能 name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .人工智能 was .クラウド, delegated on 19 February 2016.
Is .人工智能 a real TLD?
Not yet. .人工智能 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .人工智能 is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The string is the standard Chinese term for artificial intelligence, so it names a category with large and growing real-world activity in China, and the single confirmed applicant on the record is a Beijing-based company that also filed a related string (智能体) naming this one as its primary. That gives a plausible path to China-focused distribution, which is the only reason the TLD is not in the 1-9 band: there is a realistic, if narrow, market of Chinese AI firms taking a Chinese-script address for marketing pages or defensive coverage. It is not in the 30-49 band because, by analogy with earlier Chinese-script generic endings (flagged as analogy), Chinese-character top-level domains have tended to see registrations driven by registrar promotion and defensive buying rather than sustained primary-identity use; Chinese AI projects overwhelmingly present themselves on Latin-script endings, Chinese-character addresses face universal-acceptance friction in email, apps and browsers that display them as punycode, and a four-character ending is long to type even for native readers. The aftermarket for Chinese IDN endings has, by analogy, been thin and speculative rather than brand-driven. Main market uncertainty: whether domestic Chinese registrars and local licensing conditions would push a topical AI-word ending to volume the way some earlier Chinese-script endings were promoted (analogy), and whether Chinese-script addresses gain any meaningful primary-identity usage in the AI sector over the next five years; current signals suggest neither, and the record gives no registration, pricing or demand figures (unknown).
