Internet Traffic Driven By AI Tripled Last Year, Study Shows

Human Security's 2026 State of AI Traffic and Cyberthreat Benchmark Report, based on over 1 quadrillion internet interactions, found AI-driven traffic nearly tripled in 2025, with agentic browser-style traffic growing ~80x year-over-year (though still only 1.7% of AI-driven traffic by December). OpenAI accounted for ~69% of automated traffic, Meta 16%, and Anthropic 11%. The report also flags a 47% rise in malicious scraping and new security challenges as legitimate AI agents increasingly mimic historically suspicious bot behaviors like account creation and transaction completion.
