Bots have rapidly evolved over the years, and with the new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), they continue progressing. A report shows that in 2022, 47.4% of all internet traffic came from bots. This is a 5.1% increase over the previous year. Meanwhile, human traffic, reported at 52.6%, was the lowest in eight years.
Internet bots are most often associated with harmful or suspicious activity, like distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or spreading misinformation on social media. However, bots are also widely used for task automation and efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary for businesses to learn how to distinguish between the two.
