In September 2026, the White House moved to replace “Artificial Intelligence” with “Super Intelligence” (SI) across federal communications. We looked at our own global domain data to see how activity on **.ai** and **.si** domains compares.

## .ai domains are booming

The number of distinct **.ai** domains we track has grown more than 6x since January 2024, while **.si** domains have grown much more slowly over the same period.

## The Super Intelligence rebrand

The US President used the term “Super Intelligence” / “SI” on three documented public occasions in late 2026:

- **Sep 22, 2026**

- **Sep 29, 2026**

- **Oct 8, 2026**

Our domain snapshots are taken monthly, close to the 1st of the month. Between the snapshots taken on September 1st and October 1st, 2026, there was a window that fully contains the announcements made on September 22nd and September 29th. The number of **.si** domains we track rose sharply.

Of the roughly 52,000 names that newly appeared, about 1 in 85 (1.2%) reference “super” or “intelligence” directly in the domain name itself; the rest are generic names unrelated to AI or Super Intelligence branding.

## Same name, two TLDs

Because “SI” and “AI” are both two-letter abbreviations, we checked how many domain names are registered under **both**.ai and .si.

Checking where these paired domains are actually hosted, only **49** of the 99,927 pairs sit on dedicated, non-shared servers. The rest resolve to large shared-hosting or domain-marketplace infrastructure that also serves thousands of unrelated sites, so the matching name doesn’t mean the same company or site is behind both.
