Cloudflare: AI bot web traffic to dwarf human activity by 1,000x
Cloudflare CFO Thomas Seifert projects that within the next five years, web traffic generated by AI bots will exceed human-driven traffic by a factor of 1,000. Seifert noted that humans will essentially become a rounding error, clarifying that this shift is due to the rapid surge in non-human activity rather than a decline in human usage. This forecast follows the recent milestone where AI-generated traffic surpassed human traffic for the first time just a few weeks ago.
