China's Huawei forecasts billions of agents will dominate AI traffic by 2035
Huawei has published a forecast predicting that billions of AI agents will account for the dominant share of AI-related network traffic by 2035. The projection comes from one of China's largest technology companies, which has major stakes in both AI infrastructure and telecommunications.
Why this matters: Billions of AI agents moving data around the world is not just a traffic engineering problem. These agents act, make decisions, and touch real systems on behalf of people and organizations. The more of them there are, the harder it gets to track what they are doing, who authorized them, and where data ends up. Huawei building infrastructure for that future raises its own questions about which governments can access what flows through it.
