Search is increasingly shaped by more than human queries, crawling, and indexing. AI agents now participate in discovery, comparison, and transactions \u2014 within Google\u2019s evolving results and across AI-driven interfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The details<\/strong>. HUMAN groups AI-driven traffic into three broad categories:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Training crawlers collecting data for models. They still dominate at 67.5% of AI traffic, but their share is declining as scrapers and agents scale.<\/li>\n<li>Real-time scrapers that feed AI search and answers. Scraper traffic grew nearly 600% in 2025, driven by AI-powered search and real-time answer engines.<\/li>\n<li>Agentic AI systems that execute tasks autonomously. Smaller in share, but growing fastest and most disruptive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>AI agents behave more like users. <\/strong>These systems aren\u2019t limited to reading content. They increasingly navigate funnels, log in, and transact. In 2025:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>77% of observed agent activity (requests) occurred on product and search pages.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly 9% touched account-level interactions.<\/li>\n<li>More than 2% reached checkout flows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About the data<\/strong>. HUMAN analyzed more than one quadrillion interactions (requests\/events) across its customer base in 2025, with aggregated, anonymized data from 2022 to 2025. It classified AI-driven traffic into training crawlers, AI scrapers, and agentic AI using user-agent strings, infrastructure signals, and observed behavior, noting limits in self-declared bot identity, which may undercount or misclassify some AI-driven activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottom line. <\/strong>Traffic is becoming less purely human, and discovery is no longer confined to search engines. Optimization now means deciding which machines can access, interpret, and act on your content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The report.<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humansecurity.com\/learn\/resources\/2026-state-of-ai-traffic-cyberthreat-benchmarks\/\">The 2026 State of AI Traffic &amp; Cyberthreat Benchmark Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
