Summary of Submission

Thank you for you work.


I understand “.ai” is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) delegated to Anguilla. In practice, it has been widely repurposed as a thematic identifier for "artificial intelligence."


I would like to propose a new thematic generic top-level domain (gTLD) string:


".hi"


intended to signify "human intelligence" as a distinction from artificial intelligence. The objective is to establish a namespace that explicitly represents human judgment, creativity, and responsibility in the digital sphere.


Kind regards,

Dr Amanda Jobbins
