Fastly Inc., a leader in global edge cloud platforms, has released its Q2 2025 Threat Insights Report, highlighting a significant shift in automated web traffic due to AI bots. The report reveals that AI crawlers now constitute nearly 80% of all AI bot traffic, with Meta responsible for over half of this activity, surpassing Google and OpenAI combined. This surge in AI bot traffic is driving increased content scraping and operational load, posing new risks from unverified automation. Fastly emphasizes the need for transparent bot verification and smarter management strategies to mitigate potential security and infrastructure challenges. Notably, fetcher bots, such as those used by ChatGPT, are generating massive real-time request volumes, mimicking the effects of DDoS attacks and disproportionately affecting North America. The report underscores the evolving complexity of AI-driven automation and its impact on web security, drawing insights from a vast dataset of 6.5 trillion monthly requests across various industries.
