My best wishes for a happy New Year 2024.
Since AI has significant implications in the domain industry by streamlining processes, enhancing security, and improving user experiences, I would like to propose the following topic for discussion:
The use of AI and AI powered tools to enhance the domain names eco system in Africa.
We can urge ICANN to promote and adopt AI in the Domain Names Space. For example, AI adopted, automated systems can efficiently manage domain registrations, monitor for fraudulent activities, and optimize resource allocation. AI-powered tools also play a crucial role in cybersecurity, helping detect and mitigate threats, ensuring the integrity of domain infrastructure. Additionally, AI contributes to personalized user experiences through predictive analytics, making domain management more user-friendly and efficient.
Kind regards
Dave Kissoondoyal
