AI "takes over" the internet: up to 30% of traffic will be generated by neural networks themselves

Agents will start communicating with each other, and networks will have to be rebuilt to accommodate the new data flow

In the near future, up to 30% of all traffic will be generated not by people, but by artificial intelligence – neural networks will actively "communicate" with each other, passing requests along a chain. MTS CEO Inessa Galaktionova revealed the details.

This refers to AI agents – systems that can perform tasks independently. One such agent addresses another, that one to a third, and so on, forming an entire chain of interactions. As a result, a significant part of internet traffic will be generated without human involvement.

According to a Huawei study, global internet traffic could increase 100-fold in the next 10 years. The main driver of growth will be AI services, which require more and more data and high transmission speeds.

Due to such growth, the load on networks will sharply increase. According to Inessa Galaktionova, telecom infrastructure in these conditions becomes a strategic asset. The question also arises: can the current infrastructure cope with such a volume of data?

Is the current 4G infrastructure sufficient to handle such a volume of traffic, and what needed to be done? We have repeatedly talked about moving to completely new formats of interaction. First of all, for B2B and B2G, of course, 5G infrastructure is needed.
