.人工智能
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 Co., Ltd..
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, filed under AI & tech. 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. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .人工智能 name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .人工智能 was .xn--gckr3f0f, 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).
