The world of the internet is changing rapidly, and according to Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, a major shift could be seen in the next few years.
Speaking at a recent conference, he said that the number of artificial intelligence-based bots is growing rapidly, and it is likely that by 2027, they will outnumber human users on the internet.
According to him, the popularity of AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini has changed the pattern of web traffic in just six months.
Matthew Prince said that in the past, about 20 percent of internet traffic consisted of bots, which included search engines, spammers, hackers and other automated systems, but now the demand for data has increased dramatically due to the increasing use of generative AI.
He said that we are entering an era where it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand who is a human and who is a bot on the internet, and this distinction will become even narrower in the coming time.
According to experts, if the number of bots truly exceeds that of humans, it could have significant impacts on security, digital marketing, data privacy, and online services.
