‘AI-driven traffic is the fastest-growing category of internet traffic’: New report claims it’s official — AI and bots have taken over the internet
Automated traffic is being driven by AI crawlers, scrapers, and agents
Bots have officially surpassed human users as the dominant source of traffic on the internet, new research has claimed.
The State of AI Traffic report by Human Sec found automated traffic grew nearly eight times faster than human activity in 2025.
“The internet as a whole was created with this very basic notion that there’s a human being on the other side of the computer screen, and that notion is very rapidly being replaced,” said Stu Solomon, CEO of Human Security.
