Nick Bostrom Born
Niklas Boström is born in Helsingborg, Sweden. He would go on to study theoretical physics, computational neuroscience, mathematical logic, and philosophy — a polymath foundation for his future work.

Chapter I
The Intellectual Origins
How a Swedish philosopher and Slovenia's digital infrastructure converged to define the future.
1992
.SI Domain Established
Following Slovenia's independence, the .SI country code top-level domain is delegated by IANA on April 1st. Administered by ARNES (Academic and Research Network of Slovenia), it becomes the nation's digital identity.
1998
"How Long Before Superintelligence?"
Bostrom publishes his seminal paper in the Journal of Future Studies, formally introducing the concept of superintelligence to academic discourse and establishing the theoretical framework.
2005
Future of Humanity Institute Founded
Bostrom establishes the FHI at Oxford University, creating the world's premier research center for existential risk, AI safety, and the long-term future of humanity.
2014
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
Bostrom's magnum opus becomes a New York Times bestseller, endorsed by Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman. It defines superintelligence as "any intellect that greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest."
2024–Present
The .SI Renaissance
As AI rapidly advances toward AGI and superintelligence, the domain community recognizes .SI as the natural successor to .AI. Major technology companies begin securing .SI domains, signaling the extension's transition from geographic identifier to superintelligence namespace.
"Superintelligence would be the last invention that humanity would ever need to make."
— Nick Bostrom, Philosopher & Founding Director, Future of Humanity Institute
The Architect of Modern AI Safety
Nick Bostrom is one of the most-cited philosophers in the world. His work spans existential risk, the simulation argument, the anthropic principle, and the ethics of human enhancement.
His 2014 book introduced the critical "AI Control Problem" — the challenge of ensuring superintelligent systems remain aligned with human values. This concept now drives billions in research funding and has shaped policy discussions worldwide.
The owl on his book's cover references his "Unfinished Fable of the Sparrows" — a parable about birds seeking an owl egg without considering how to tame the owl. The book is dedicated to "Scronkfinkle," the lone sparrow who suggested thinking before acting.
Chapter II
The .SI Domain Opportunity
Premium domains at the intersection of quantum concepts and superintelligence theory.
DENSE.SI
Representing information density, computational density, and the concentrated intelligence of superintelligent systems. A powerful metaphor for the compression of human knowledge into machine cognition.
Premium .SI AssetSUPER INTELLIGENCE
Drawing from quantum mechanics, superposition represents systems existing in multiple states simultaneously — a perfect analogy for superintelligent reasoning that can hold and evaluate countless possibilities at once.

Why .SI Is the Future
The convergence of nomenclature, technology, and timing.
Semantic Alignment
"SI" is the universally recognized abbreviation for Superintelligence in academic literature, research papers, and industry discourse — just as "AI" represents Artificial Intelligence.
Enterprise Adoption
Major technology companies have quietly secured .SI domains, treating it as a distinct identity layer rather than mere brand protection — signaling long-term strategic value.
Early Cycle Position
With ~170,000 registrations, .SI mirrors the early adoption phase of .AI before its mainstream breakout. The asymmetric opportunity exists now, before mass recognition.
Global Accessibility
Unlike restricted TLDs, .SI requires no local presence and is open to worldwide registration. Slovenia's small English-speaking population leaves premium names available.
Linguistic Elegance
"SI" completes words naturally (DENSE.SI, SUPERPOSE.SI), functions as "yes" in Spanish, and means "you are" in Slavic languages — enabling memorable domain hacks.
Post-AI Positioning
As AI becomes infrastructure, superintelligence represents the next categorical leap. .SI provides differentiation for ventures operating beyond conventional AI.
