Thanks to the growing prominence of Artificial intelligence (AI), .ai, the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla has experienced an exponential increase in the take-up of .ai domains. However, Caribbean countries have not been aggressive in increasing the take-up and use of their ccTLDs, though there are numerous opportunities to be had.

With longstanding players in the global Internet Governance space, Lance Hinds, of Guyana, and Carlton Samuels, of Jamaica, we discuss: 

  *  the benefits of using ccTLDs;

  *  why some countries enjoy a large number of active ccTLDs;

  *  reasons why Caribbean countries have not sought to foster greater use of their ccTLDs; and 

  *  ways in which Caribbean countries can increase the attractiveness and consequently the value of their ccTLDs.
