AI Bots Surge to 1 in 31 Web Visits as Publishers Face Traffic Crisis and Arms Race

AI bots now represent one in every 31 website visits, a dramatic jump from one in 200 at the start of 2025, according to new data from TollBit and Akamai. The surge is driven by retrieval augmented generation tools like ChatGPT rather than training scrapers, with over 13 percent of bots ignoring robots.txt protections. Publishers are seeing click-through rates plummet while human web traffic declines by 5 percent.

Microsoft builds scanner to detect hidden backdoors in AI models using three warning signs

Microsoft's AI Security team developed a lightweight scanner that identifies backdoors in open-weight large language models. The tool detects model poisoning by analyzing three behavioral signals: abnormal attention patterns, memorization of poisoned data, and fuzzy trigger responses. Unlike traditional malware, these sleeper agents remain dormant until activated by specific trigger phrases, making them extremely difficult to detect through standard safety testing.
