Cloudflare chief says humans will soon be 'a rounding error on the Internet' as bot traffic takes over — so what is it doing to combat this?

Data.

• Cloudflare CFO Thomas Seifert predicts machine-generated traffic could outnumber humans by a 1,000 times in the next five years
• The answer to this, Seifert believes, is to ensure servers are efficient enough to handle demand
• Cloudflare previously predicted machines would outnumber humans in 2027, but this digital soothsaying was 12 months out

Machine-generated internet traffic is already outnumbering that by humans, and it shows no sign of declining, experts have warned.
