Cloudflare says AI traffic could be 1,000 times human in five years
Human activity is taking up a shrinking share of internet traffic and non-human traffic could grow to as much as 1,000 times human levels within five years, a forecast said. Cloudflare CFO Thomas Seifert said bots and agent-style applications are accelerating the shift. Cloudflare said efficiency upgrades are needed to keep internet services useful as automated requests strain servers and networks. It cited smarter traffic management, optimized protocols, hardware acceleration and edge computing.
