How many bots exist?
Sources:
The number of bots varies widely depending on the context and the platform. For example, Twitter has been experiencing a significant issue with bots flooding the platform with AI-generated spam, leading to accounts being used for various promotions like cryptocurrency 1.
In specific implementations like government agencies using Robotic Process Automation (RPA), one health agency ramped up to 95 bots within five months to automate processes and improve efficiency 2.
Thus, the number of bots in existence can range from a few dozen in controlled environments to millions in broader contexts like social media.
