New Data Shows AI Bots Overtake Humans in Internet Traffic
The findings indicate that automated bots and AI agents now account for 57.4% of requests to websites across a major internet infrastructure network, surpassing human-generated traffic, which represents 42.6%.
According to reports, the change has been fueled by the rapid expansion of AI-driven chatbots and autonomous digital agents capable of browsing the web, collecting information and carrying out tasks with minimal human involvement.
Commenting on the development, the company's chief executive said, "Welp, that happened faster than I predicted."
He added, "Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history."
Reports noted that the growing dominance of AI traffic reflects the ability of these systems to analyze and process vast amounts of information far more quickly than individual users.
Illustrating the difference, the executive explained that while a person may visit only a handful of websites before making a purchase, AI-powered tools can scan and compare data from thousands of pages within a short time frame, dramatically increasing their share of overall web activity.
The figures highlight how rapidly AI agents are becoming a dominant force online, reshaping the way information is accessed, analyzed and utilized across the internet.
