AI Traffic Surges 187% as Bots Outpace Human Users, Report Shows

The 'State of AI Traffic' report by Human Security reveals that automated traffic has increased by 187% from January to December 2025, significantly outpacing human internet activity. The rise of large language models has contributed to this growth, with automated traffic growing almost eight times faster than human traffic. The report, which is based on over one quadrillion interactions processed through Human Security's platform, indicates that machine-based traffic has become the dominant form of interaction on the internet. This trend could impact market perceptions of AI technologies and their integration into everyday online activities.
