Referring back to your piece in Cyber security solutions coming from different nooks and crannies, check out the Q2 state of the bots report by Tollbit.
In one interesting note (#5), AI Bots are using multiple strategies to access websites, including using residential IP addresses to hide their identity. This is a similar strategy to strategies used by nation state-actors and sophisticated cyber criminals to manipulate social media and and gain access. Well worth read.
Tollbit is showing success at identifying and repelling, but the onslaught is relentless and the costs are piling up for both sides. A technology only approach is but a bandaid. There needs to be a regulatory intervention - namely bots must self-identify and cannot impersonate humans.
