Cloudflare Says AI Agents Now Account for 60% of Internet Traffic, Up 1700% Year-over-Year
Summary
A Cloudflare executive for Asia Pacific said traffic from AI agents has surged over 1,700% in the past year and now accounts for about 60% of total internet traffic. Speaking at an event in Seoul, the executive noted that the internet was originally built for humans, but now traffic is largely generated by AI agents operating at machine speed, expanding the attack surface and introducing new risks such as 'shadow AI' and 'shadow MCP'.
Bubble analysis
This news does not directly involve investment or valuation, but the surge in AI traffic suggests rapid adoption of AI applications, which could support continued investment in AI infrastructure. However, it provides no financial figures, so its direct relevance to the bubble question is limited.
